Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services Funding (24 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: I agree that this is a justice rather than a health matter. However, we did not nominate the Minister of State at the Department of Health to respond on this issue. We demanded justice for the Irish Deaf Society to enable it to continue to provide vital services for the deaf community when we make Irish Sign Language an official language. This is a necessity. The society's expertise...

To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will lobby for a full trade boycott and embargo on arms sales to Saudi Arabia in view of the fact that Saudi Arabia has been deliberately and systematically using starvation as a weapon of war in Yemen since the beginning of its assault on that country in 2015. [3970/19]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (29 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: We know that Saudi Arabia has been committing war crimes in Yemen since the start of its assault on that country. It has consistently and deliberately bombed civilian targets. Just as significant is the fact that Saudi Arabia has systemically used starvation as a weapon of war in Yemen, a tactic worthy of the Third Reich and one which it employed. Given that Ireland is exporting beef and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (29 Jan 2019)

Clare Daly: Our concern and our stern words have not altered the fact that millions of Yemenis are in danger of death by starvation.

That is the point. They are starving as a result of deliberate,...
