Richard Boyd Barrett: The images of people of burning alive at Al Aqsa Hospital and in a tented camp beside it are possibly the most horrific, stomach churning, terrifying images of this horrific year of genocide by Israel against the people of Gaza. I suspect those images will be a lasting image in people's minds of the utter horror Israel is inflicting on the people of Gaza - burning people alive in hospitals,...

South Coast Designated Maritime Area Plan for Offshore Renewable Energy: Motion (10 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I have very mixed feelings about this motion. I am not from the south-coast area so I lack the sort of specific knowledge or guidance that would allow me to make a properly informed decision as to what I think about this motion.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Why did Simon Harris not say yesterday to the United States, "Stop arming a genocide. Stop giving weapons to people to commit genocide."

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: We are signatories of the Genocide Convention; it is Irish law. That requires signatories not just to join legal cases but to take all action in its power to deter, prevent and obstruct the commission of a genocide. What is the Tánaiste doing in that regard? What has he said to the US Government or, for that matter, the Israeli Government, about the plausible commission of a genocide...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I framed the question about the Genocide Convention because I want to know what the character of the Tánaiste's intervention with the United States or Israel is. We have more or less got it, "Ah, we condemn this, we condemn that." A bit of this, a bit of that. I am trying to reframe this and say we are talking about genocide.
