Ryan O'Meara: ...inflicting upon the innocent people of Gaza. Equally, I strongly condemn in the most certain terms the atrocious acts committed by Hamas, particularly those of 7 October 2023.

The continuing...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 May 2025)

Ivana Bacik: The United Nations warned this week that 14,000 babies will die in Gaza if humanitarian aid is not allowed to enter.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Apr 2025)

Ivana Bacik: The Minister, Deputy Foley, today published the report by Sheila Nunan on negotiations with the religious bodies involved in running mother and baby homes.
