Gaza and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2024)

Réada Cronin: Apart from the word "genocide", words do not exist to describe the atrocities being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people. There is mass murder by bombs and drones, people are crushed to death, suffocated and now there is starvation, diarrhoea, infection and dehydration. The living are maimed, disabled and blinded. There is no anaesthetic for amputations or Caesarean sections....

Escalation of Violence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Nov 2023)

Réada Cronin: We have kept this motion simple. We are asking the Dáil to refer Israel to the International Criminal Court in the name of Ireland, humanity, decency and the international rule of law, given the murder of UN staff, the targeting of journalists, the killing of their families, the evisceration of men, women and children, and the killing of ICU nurses and doctors. I saw the last ever...

Vote 27 - International Co-operation (Supplementary)
Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs (Supplementary) (28 Nov 2023)

Réada Cronin: .... It is another sign of climate change. The Minister of State mentioned the war in Palestine. In his opening statement, he said the "attack by Hamas was one of the worst acts of terrorism that Israel has ever experienced", which it was. The number of displaced people in Gaza has reached 1.7 million. As more bodies are now being found, some reports suggest the numbers killed could...

Réada Cronin: 7. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade whether he and his Government are satisfied that Israel is fulfilling its obligations in the matter of respect for human rights and democratic principles enshrined in Article Two of the EU-Israel Trade agreement; if it is not, what actions it is taking and demanding at the highest executive level of the EU in such regard; and if he will...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (9 May 2024)

Réada Cronin: When I put forward this question last week, I hoped we would not find ourselves in a position where Israel had already closed off Rafah. While the real ground offensive has not yet started, Israel certainly has moved in the tanks. The reason the full ground offensive has not started is that the United States is withholding arms and bombs. Today, 9 May, is Europe Day. We in Europe really...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (9 May 2024)

Réada Cronin: ...a bit of learning to the professors. They hit Trinity College where it hurt. They hit it in the purse by blocking people from getting to see the Book of Kells. That is where we should be hitting Israel as well. Will the Tánaiste indicate in his supplementary answer what is happening with the Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill? The students have given us a lesson in how...

International Court of Justice and Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2024)

Réada Cronin: The ICJ ruling on South Africa's case was momentous and historic, with jurisdiction granted and conditions of plausible genocide accepted and Israel's attempt to have the case thrown out emphatically rejected. Israel remains on trial in the matter of the genocide of the Palestinian people. If the state of Israel was an ordinary criminal rather than alleged war criminal and was in front of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Foreign Affairs Council and Departmental Matters: Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and for Defence (17 Oct 2023)

Réada Cronin: ...hope that Kim would be found alive. That, unfortunately, was not to be the case. I also warmly welcome the stance that Ireland, through both the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach, has taken with regard to Israel's behaviour. I do not doubt that was a quite difficult stance to take in a highly militarised EU and to speak out strongly about Israel's breaking of international law. The...

Situation in Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel: Statements (20 May 2021)

Réada Cronin: ...country that was occupied and knows the cosh of the coloniser. This week, Gaza is awash with anguish. There are reports that 60% of electricity lines are down.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Foreign Affairs Council and Departmental Matters: Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and for Defence (17 Oct 2023)

Réada Cronin: I get that. There is also an intergenerational trauma that Israel no doubt feels because of the Holocaust. Ireland should be ready to play a bigger role in trying to find peace. We can talk about Hamas using human shields. Israel also uses human shields when it grabs land, Palestinians are displaced, and people of the Jewish faith are moved onto those lands. What are they only human...

Middle East and the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Statements (Resumed) (18 Oct 2023)

Réada Cronin: As we speak here this evening, Israel is raining hell on Gaza. It is horror beyond measure. I am sticking to raw politics tonight because I do not have the language to deal adequately with the human slaughterhouse scenes that we see on our screens. The EU leadership needs to immediately up its game for Gaza and the Palestinian people. Millions of Europeans looked aghast at the antics of...

Vote 27 - International Co-operation (Supplementary)
Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs (Supplementary) (28 Nov 2023)

Réada Cronin: Given the Irish ambassador to Israel was summoned, rebuked and reprimanded over a tweet from the Taoiseach, has the Israeli ambassador to Ireland been called in or summoned for a reprimand regarding what comes from the Israeli Embassy about Ireland funding the tunnels built by Hamas, about the genocide, and about the disrespect shown to our much-loved President?
