Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2017: Second Stage (14 Jul 2017)

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Framework Agreement between European Union and Republic of the Philippines: Motion (13 Jul 2017)

Seán Crowe: I welcome the Minister of State and congratulate him on his appointment. I will pursue the same theme as my colleagues. The EU regularly negotiates these framework or partnership agreements with third countries.

Seán Crowe: I asked whether there was an example of an EU framework or association agreement with a third country that led to substantial improvement in human rights. Does the Minister have an example? I do not have one. It is not a trick question. I am concerned by the idea that this is put in the agreements as sop to show we are trying to move towards better conditions in the country. I have...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Framework Agreement between European Union and Republic of the Philippines: Motion (13 Jul 2017)

Seán Crowe: I could get into an argument with the Minister of State who gave as examples two countries looking to join the European Union. However, the countries that are relevant to this discussion are not seeking to join the European Union and not subject to European human rights law. There is a difficulty in that regard. I gave as an example what was happening in Gaza. There are war crimes and the...

Order of Business (11 Jul 2017)

Seán Crowe: There are two items. In respect of No. 3, the Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, it is proposed to do all Stages in one day. That is bad practice. We are talking about a planning Bill.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Organ Harvesting in China: Discussion (6 Jul 2017)

Seán Crowe: I welcome the witnesses. We have heard testimony on this matter previously. When I first heard of it, I was shocked and did not believe that any human being would do this to another. Maybe I was a bit naive about whether a country would do this to its citizens. Even the associated language appals me - "organ tourism". I know of people who travel abroad to get dental treatment or have...
