Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (26 Jan 2022)

John Brady: Undoubtedly, the most pressing issue of the moment is the potential for the outbreak of open conflict in Ukraine.

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (26 Jan 2022)

John Brady: Much of the focus this afternoon has been on Ukraine and the naval exercises off the southern coast and, obviously, much of that was aired at the EU Council meeting.

John Brady: I asked about what measures are being taken to reverse the suspension of the EU Commission funding.

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (26 Jan 2022)

John Brady: The point I am trying to make is that the Minister of State is giving a false answer to the question I asked regarding the funding from the EU to these organisations that has been suspended. The Minister of State said, correctly, that Irish Aid directly funds two of the organisations but he also said that the EU funds them. That has been suspended. That was the question I put to him, which...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: EU Funding (27 Jan 2022)

John Brady: Following the designation of six Palestinian NGOs last October by Israel, based on no intelligence or data, as terrorist entities, it has now emerged that the European Commission had suspended prior to that designation funding some of these six NGOs.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: EU Funding (27 Jan 2022)

John Brady: I assume the Minister is well aware of Israel's intent in this regard, which is to disrupt the activities of these NGOs that have played a critical role in the monitoring, collection and dissemination of information on the apartheid policies of Israel and have been critical in gathering that intelligence for investigations such as those of the International Criminal Court, which is now...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: EU Funding (27 Jan 2022)

Following investigations and despite requests, including calls I have heard from the Minister in the past in this Chamber, for the Israeli authorities to hand over the information they have, if indeed they have it, the silence is deafening. This confirms my belief there is no information and these are baseless allegations...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Human Rights (27 Jan 2022)

John Brady: I welcome the updated national action plan. I am sure the Minister will agree Irish companies have a responsibility to respect human rights, workers' rights and environmental standards wherever they operate.
