Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (31 Jan 2023)

Chris Andrews: ...the violation of international law and said that Israel disregards international law and the views of the UN and EU. However, there are still no consequences for Israel stealing Palestinian land, for apartheid in Israel or for increasing rates of murder by the Israeli Defence Forces. The new fanatical, fascist, homophobic Minister of Finance in the Israel Government and the new racist...

Journalists in Conflicts across the World: Statements (24 May 2022)

Chris Andrews: ...assassination was clear and deliberate. It is getting more and more frustrating that almost weekly we hear members of various political parties expressing their condemnation of Israeli terror and land grabs. We have condemnation after condemnation but no consequences. This is a huge issue. It is a flaw in the Government's policy. There are never consequences for Israeli crimes. If...

Situation in Belarus: Motion (1 Jun 2021)

Chris Andrews: The forced landing of Ryanair flight FR 4978, an Irish airline, put Ireland centre stage of an international incident. That any state would force an aeroplane to carry out an emergency landing to arrest a political opponent is wrong and cannot be tolerated. The Government, along with the rest of the EU, was fast and decisive in the approach to dealing with the forced landing and the arrest...

Chris Andrews: 467. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his response to the recent violence in Melilla, the European Union’s land border with Morocco which resulted in dozens of deaths. [37031/22]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (31 Jan 2023)

Chris Andrews: I congratulate the Tánaiste on his new position and wish him well in his new role. The new extreme right-wing Israeli Government has made the expansion of illegal settlements on Palestinian land a priority. This, in effect, amounts to ethnic cleansing of Palestinian communities. How does the Minister view the new Israeli Government's policy of expanding settlements in the occupied...

Written Answers — Hospital Services: Hospital Services (2 Oct 2007)

Chris Andrews: ...take place over a period of time; the services that will be located on the St. Luke's site to replace the existing services; his plans for the future developments of the St. Luke's site; and if the land in St. Luke's will be sold. [21367/07]

Annexation of Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (25 May 2021)

Chris Andrews: .... We need to implement Senator Black's occupied territories Bill. We need to boycott Israel, we need divestment from Israel and sanctions against it. We need to make it clear to Israel that its land grabs and annexation do not have Ireland's support and that when it grabs land from people and takes other people's homes, there will be consequences because until now there have been none.

Ministerial Power (Repeal) (Ban Co-Living and Build to Rent) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Oct 2020)

Chris Andrews: ...completely unacceptable. These are tenements for the future. They are certainly not boutique living, as they were previously described by a Fine Gael Minister with responsibility for housing. The cost of land gets pushed up because developers use the site to wedge in bedrooms. There are developments on the old Kiely's site in Donnybrook and in Harold's Cross. Right across the city,...

Journalists in Conflicts across the World: Statements (24 May 2022)

Chris Andrews: ...to address. When will the Government go beyond condemnation and ensure there are consequences for Israel? Will it outline what consequences there are for Israel for executing people, stealing land and arresting people and detaining them on administrative detention? Will the Minister tell me what are the consequences because I can see none.

Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Mar 2021)

Chris Andrews: This legislation allows for public land to be used for unaffordable private market housing. This is coupled with a failure to prioritise the delivery of public and genuinely affordable homes. The Bill is deeply undemocratic and once again takes decision-making away from councillors and the local community. I recently saw a photo from 1974 of a housing protest on City Quay. The community...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (18 Apr 2023)

Chris Andrews: ...that we can no longer stand over allowing apartheid Israel to practice apartheid? When are we going to tell the Israelis that enough is enough and that they cannot keep stealing Palestinian land? When are we going to tell them that they cannot keep setting up illegal settlements? When are we going to tell them that they have to stop destroying the hopes and prospects for a peace...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Middle East (11 May 2021)

Chris Andrews: ...is happening in Jerusalem is deeply disturbing. It is clearly an act of ethnic cleansing. As usual, the apartheid Israeli Government is using brutal force and acts of aggression to carry out this land grab. Not only is the Israeli Government using its rockets and artillery to slaughter innocent families in the Gaza Strip while the world looks on, it is also using medical apartheid to...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sports Facilities (12 Dec 2023)

Chris Andrews: ...Park greyhound track is in the heart of the inner city, not too far from here, between the Ringsend and South Lotts communities. Both these communities, along with communities right across the island of Ireland, have a deep sense of connection with the Shelbourne Park greyhound stadium. The cohesion and engagement between the stadium and the local community have been eroding in recent...

Supporting Inclusion and Combating Racism in Ireland: Statements (17 Jun 2020)

Chris Andrews: With the House's indulgence, I will take another minute. We must challenge the annexation of more Palestinian land. How can we say we want to end racism if we do not stand up to racist Israel? I have to think that we did not want to upset anyone in advance of the United Nations Security Council vote. Not including Senator Frances Black's Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories)...

Affordable Homes in the Poolbeg Strategic Development Zone: Motion (29 Jun 2021)

Chris Andrews: ...Deputy Ó Broin for tabling the motion. It has been reported that a row between Dublin City Council and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government in 2019 scuppered plans to purchase lands at Poolbeg for affordable housing. Documents released under freedom of information to the Business Postshowed the deal fell apart after the council and the Department disagreed over...

Planning and Development (Protect Social Housing) Bill 2020: First Stage (11 Nov 2020)

Chris Andrews: .... The cost of a one-bedroom home is now running at €422,000 in Ringsend. That is far from affordable. I know that in other areas in the inner city, developers are looking for small plots of land and will be going higher and higher while, at the same time, avoiding the provision of social housing. Google and Facebook have come in, are buying up properties and driving many of the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Provision (21 Oct 2020)

Chris Andrews: ...gentrification continues. Working families are being left behind so affordable homes not only on the old Irish Glass Bottle site but elsewhere are really important. We need public housing on public land and affordable housing to ensure people get homes and do not have to move too far from their community. Government needs to intervene on the old Irish Glass Bottle site and I am not...

Cancer Services: Motion (Resumed) (27 Sep 2007)

Chris Andrews: ...Improvements and developments are taking place in the Adelaide and Meath Hospital, but there is a huge need for step-down and community care facilities in south Dublin. It is a core issue that the land and facilities of St. Luke's Hospital are not sold off. People, with the exception of the Opposition which believes it can score a few political points, generally accept that the transfer...

Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Jan 2010)

Chris Andrews: ...are appropriate to the areas in which they grow. Some people think they are living in Glenveagh National Park when they plant their trees. Deputy Cuffe raised an interesting issue on rezoning of land outside town centres for supermarkets. This may be not as noticeable in Dublin and other cities but it certainly has an impact. Dublin City Council has battled with Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown...
