Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Current Issues Facing Members of the Defence Forces: Representative Association of Commissioned Officers (3 Oct 2023)

Matt Carthy: May I add to that? The Garda might be in a better position than RACO's members but we are dealing with a day on which there is industrial action. It is five years since the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland published its report. Part of the difficulty we see today is related to the failure to implement some of its recommended measures. It is now 18 months since the...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (28 Sep 2023)

Matt Carthy: I wish to be associated with every word the Ceann Comhairle has said and welcome our Ukrainian friends. Unfortunately, I was not able to meet them at the joint committee because of the timing clash with these questions, but they are very welcome to this Chamber and we are honoured to have them here. My question is to ask the Tánaiste if he will report on his engagements during his...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (28 Sep 2023)

Matt Carthy: I thank the Tánaiste. When he was marking the UN International Day of Peace last week, the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, said, "Peace is needed today more than ever. War and conflict are unleashing devastation, poverty and hunger and are driving tens of millions of people from their homes. Climate chaos is all around". We know the SDGs are one of the best tools we have not...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (28 Sep 2023)

Matt Carthy: I reiterate the point that our development aid is the advertisement of our commitment. It is where people can actually put our commitment to the SDGs to the test. Another undertaking the Government has given concerns climate financing, which runs across the responsibilities of the Departments of Foreign Affairs; Finance; Agriculture, Food and the Marine; and the Environment, Climate and...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (28 Sep 2023)

Matt Carthy: With the focus being on the two-state solution, and then recognising that the two-state solution is becoming more and more unattainable as a result of the actions of the Israeli Government, to me point to a need for greater urgency. To repeat the point, this has to be followed by substantive actions because Ireland being considered hostile to the Israeli Government's policies is something I...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (28 Sep 2023)

Matt Carthy: I welcome the Tánaiste taking the time to travel to Israel and Palestine. If I have one critique, it is that I would have liked him to have visited Gaza. I do not know if that was considered in his deliberations. Notwithstanding that, it is important that Ireland shows leadership and an interest and that the Government reflects the interest the Irish people have in seeing a lasting...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Northern Ireland (28 Sep 2023)

Matt Carthy: I thank the Tánaiste for the answer. As he rightly says, this is one of the few issues now on which there is absolute political agreement across all political parties, not only in the North but across the island. The Bill clearly and very blatantly reneges on the commitment to implement legacy mechanisms agreed in the 2014 Stormont House Agreement, of which of course the Irish...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Northern Ireland (28 Sep 2023)

Matt Carthy: I thank the Tánaiste. This is not just about political instincts, although political considerations are important. It is crucial that the Irish Government sends a very strong message internationally as to the seriousness with which we take the British Government's actions. There are also practical rationales. As the Tánaiste will know, six families of victims have already...
