If we want to be effective internationally and to push forward a programme for an inclusive society, we need to start with ourselves. We should not be talking about what other countries are doing but should do it ourselves...

Other Questions: Northern Ireland (18 Jun 2019)

Seán Crowe: We all agree that "promptly" is the key word. Unfortunately, many of the families who are marching on the Time for Truth march have been trying to highlight their cases for decades. The Ballymurphy families are having an inquest 48 years on from the killings of their loved ones. This is wrong on many levels and unacceptable that families have to take to the streets once again to get access...

Other Questions: Israeli Settlements (18 Jun 2019)

Seán Crowe: I tabled this question after I read media reports to the effect that Israel is planning on auctioning off two confiscated prefabricated classrooms that were donated to Palestinian schoolchildren by the EU. Is the Tánaiste aware of this issue? Can he confirm that it is the case? Has he raised it with his Israeli counterpart?

Other Questions: Israeli Settlements (18 Jun 2019)

Seán Crowe: This is just one example of the daily reality of Israel's brutal occupation of Palestine. We all agree that every child should have a right to education and that states have an obligation to protect, respect and fulfil this right. Israel's apartheid regime in Palestine is clearly violating that right. Schools are invaluable safe spaces for children yet here we have an Israeli Government...

Other Questions: Israeli Settlements (18 Jun 2019)

Seán Crowe: According to Haaretz, Israeli officials hope that the postponement will allow time for Israel and the EU to negotiate a solution and head off further deterioration in diplomatic relations. This sounds like a well-worn attempt to lure the EU into so-called co-ordination of aid delivery in area C. In reality, this would be subordinating EU assistance to Israel's agenda. Ireland must state...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Colombian Peace Process (18 Jun 2019)

Seán Crowe: I tabled this question because I am deeply concerned about the killing of community and political activists in Colombia. Civil society activists who speak up for the protection of their communities and against the interests of big business are being threatened, attacked, and in some cases murdered. The UN recently condemned the killings of reintegrated former FARC fighters. Considering our...
