- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (15 Jun 2023)
Matt Carthy: The difficulty and reality, which I think the Tánaiste acknowledged in his earlier remarks, is that Israeli actions in breaching international law, engaging in an apartheid regime and committing war crimes are becoming more blatant and glaring by the day. I think he also acknowledged that the EU, because of the position some of the governments, to their shame, have taken in respect of...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (15 Jun 2023)
Matt Carthy: My fear is that the longer we delay these types of measures, the less likely it is that there will be a Palestinian state in a two-state solution to actually recognise.

Will that...

This has a particular real impact for people who are obliged to travel to either Dublin or Cork. I know that my colleague Deputy Pearse Doherty regularly...

Matt Carthy: On that issue, that is not the same service that was being offered to Oireachtas Members who have a phone line and there is a difference. I have used both and nothing beats actually talking to a human being sometimes when dealing with a specific case. If we use the business logic which has been prepared and put forward in the Tánaiste's response in respect of this office, then I...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Passport Services (15 Jun 2023)
Matt Carthy: -----of such a prospect because this is more than business. It is about a service being provided to citizens. Yes, the vast bulk people apply online, wherever they are applying from. Urgent and emergency cases and appointments are usually made by people who have previously made their application online. It is because an urgency or an emergency emerges that they need access. It is a...
