- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (23 Jan 2024)
Catherine Connolly: What is happening in the Middle East is very threatening but we do not use the same language. We are an independent republic. We are an independent sovereign state and we are neutral. We should use our voice to bring peace in the world. That is what we should be doing. I am desperately trying to see among this large figure of €67.7 billion what it is that Ireland is contributing...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (23 Jan 2024)
Catherine Connolly: I thank the Tánaiste for the reply. I am struck by the forceful nature of the language. I have condemned Russia out of hand for its illegal invasion.

The second thing to note is that the...

Just yesterday, four Palestinians were struck and killed as they were...
