Seanad: Order of Business. (23 Mar 2004)

Paschal Mooney: I support the views of both sides of the House regarding yesterday's events in Palestine. Ireland has always adopted an even-handed approach to the Middle East problem. We would always support the right of Israel to exist and to defend its borders, while, at the same time, supporting Palestinian self-determination. However, the ironic aspect of yesterday's events is that Sheikh Yassin was in...

Seanad: Order of Business. (23 Mar 2004)

Paschal Mooney: Due to the fears this caused, the Israeli Government, under Benyamin Netanyahu, released the sheikh and now it has killed him. One has to question where Israeli policy will lead.

Seanad: Order of Business. (4 Mar 2004)

Paschal Mooney: I am also encouraged by the comments of Senator Brian Hayes because I wanted to bring to the attention of the Leader what is happening. I stand by the farmers of Leitrim and applaud what they are doing. We have been involved in this debate for the past 18 months. It is not about any sense of victimhood on the part of the people of County Leitrim and the west. We do not want a hand-out but a...

Seanad: Order of Business. (4 Mar 2004)

Paschal Mooney: I may seem passionate and emotional about this, but it is an opportunity for the House to hold a debate about what is happening in rural Ireland, about a disconnection, a split and a division between east and west, about a proud people who will no longer accept what is going on.
