Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 May 2025)

Paul Murphy: These are the Tánaiste's words: Children are starving. Basic painkilling medicine cannot be accessed. Hospitals are being bombed and the scale of death and destruction in Gaza is almost unimaginable. It is certainly unconscionable. Famine is a real risk for many Gazans and children are even dying as we speak ... We cannot and will not stand idly by and let this happen. These...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 May 2025)

Europe Day: Statements (7 May 2025)

Fourteen years ago, when I was an MEP, I participated in the freedom flotilla....
