Ireland's Position on the Future of Europe: Statements (18 Apr 2019)

Seán Crowe: I was sad to see the fire which has partially destroyed the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. It is one of the most iconic and beautiful buildings in Europe. I send my solidarity to the people of Paris and France as they rebuild this important monument. It is important that we say this on the day that is in it. What Sinn Féin wants to see is a fairer and more democratic European...

Seán Crowe: I welcome our guests. I appreciate their appearing before the committee and providing it with information. Food and clean water are necessary to live.

How are people managing in that regard? Are the countries...

Seán Crowe: Mr. Clarken has witnessed people dying and has experienced the conflict at first hand. Is he frustrated by the lack of media coverage of the conflict? It is rarely reported on the front pages of the newspapers, on CNN or Sky News. Even when it is mentioned, it is only a short report.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (16 Apr 2019)

Seán Crowe: The World Health Organization, WHO, has stated that at least 174 people have been killed and 758 injured in the battle for control of the Libyan capital. Many of us would see Libya as a failed state. Armed militias seem to control the country. The Tánaiste stated that Ireland supports the idea of an inclusive process but that seems less and less likely as events move on. We have seen...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (16 Apr 2019)

Seán Crowe: I tabled this question before Omar al-Bashir was removed as President of Sudan. I was moved by seeing the huge crowds of citizens that had gathered to protest his continued autocratic rule and demand civilian government. Things have moved quickly in the past week and we can all state our support for the end of military rule in Sudan and that a democratic civilian Government needs to be put...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Foreign Conflicts (16 Apr 2019)

Seán Crowe: Omar al-Bashir was an autocratic leader of Sudan for just under 30 years.

Protesters accused the Government of mismanaging the economy, as the Minister of State indicated, and some peaceful protests have...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Israeli Settlements (16 Apr 2019)

Seán Crowe: My question is on the annexation of illegal Israeli colonial settlements in the West Bank. The comments of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the recent election were inflammatory but not surprising. They have swept him to power. The balance of power in the Knesset is now held by smaller right-wing parties and religious parties that have previously sat in coalition with Likud. They...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Israeli Settlements (16 Apr 2019)

Seán Crowe: While the Tánaiste has worked extremely hard on this issue, with all due respect, I do not believe his approach is working. He asked us to give him time but the problem is that the Palestinians do not have time. The approach of Europe and certainly the United States is not working or helping to build a peace settlement. Things are becoming measurably worse for Palestinians every day....
