John Brady: As I outlined in my question, the attacks on Palestinians have escalated, as the Tánaiste will agree. Attacks on Palestinian homes, cars and livestock, along with shootings and knife attacks, the theft of livestock and land and the burning of crops are ongoing daily. Much of this is happening under the guidance of the occupying Israeli army. The attack on Huwara was described as the...

John Brady: There may have been an agreement in principle but the reality on the ground is there are extreme right-wing ministers in the Israeli Government. On Sunday, the Israeli finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, claimed there are no Palestinians because there is not a Palestinian people. That comes from the same minister who called for the town of Huwara to be wiped out after the attack by illegal...

John Brady: I agree that the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement is an ideal opportunity for the President to visit Ireland. We are aware of the influence that Irish America had 25 years ago in the entire peace process and the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.

John Brady: The opportunity should also be taken to brief President Biden around the British amnesty legislation, if that has not happened by then. I hope it has been raised with the President. There is an opportunity to brief him on the issue. It is not every day that this happens, I believe 2011 was the last time we had a US President here in Ireland. There is also the whole issue of the...

It is a critical decision because that technology has been there for the last year or so. The Minister's predecessor, Deputy Coveney, gave us a similar response last year.

The hub has been developed and it is in place. It is just a political decision that needs to be taken to roll it out to MLAs.
