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

Maureen O'Sullivan: Is there a future for Europe? That is my first question. I do not believe there is unless Europe goes back to the founding principles of the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms and respect for human dignity and equality on which it was launched.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Humanitarian Situation in Yemen: Oxfam (18 Apr 2019)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I welcome Mr. Clarken, even though his presentation was grim. I apologise that I will have to leave the meeting early to speak in the Chamber. I was struck that the sale of UK arms licences to Saudi Arabia has exceeded €4.6 billion, yet UK aid has reached 0.7%. It is a total contradiction and incoherence. There are arm sales from the EU even though it is a major donor of aid. The...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2019)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I wish to raise the implications of the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government's decision to increase building heights in Dublin. This decision was made without any regard to the setting, the impact on land values or any sense of home or quality of life. What it has done is open a space for developers whose Celtic tiger excesses and irresponsibility had drastic consequences in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2019)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I think there is a space for high rise but Dublin is not New York or Chicago. Dublin has a particular historic and cultural aspect to it. Let us not be hypocritical about this. Height increases have nothing to do with housing. Regardless of whether or not they are appropriate for family living, they have nothing to do with housing. It is time we move away from terms like "social and...

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

Maureen O'Sullivan: The word "corrosive", which the Tánaiste used, was correct because that is the effect of the settlements. The point is that if the settlements continue, there will not be any lands left from which the Palestinians could create a state. The Golan Heights had been untouched by conflict for many years. It had been part of an Israeli peace plan under which Israel was prepared to transfer...

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

Maureen O'Sullivan: The EU is saying the right things, however statement after statement goes completely unnoticed by the Israeli authorities. Look at what has happened to date.

That is what has happened to...
