International Security and International Trade: Statements (20 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity, and I will use my three minutes to the best of my ability, to focus on what is happening in the world. The speeches from the Minister, Peter Burke, and the Tánaiste were examples of how to mislead and be disingenuous. We had 3,000 words from Simon Harris. There was one mention of Israel in those 3,000 words, when he said: "The Israeli strikes on Gaza this...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (20 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: This issue concerns a Palestinian couple. The man came here last May and was joined by his wife and their two children in June. She is currently 12 weeks pregnant. Inhumanely, yesterday they received a letter telling them they had to move from their accommodation in Galway. The wife is pregnant and the two children are in the local school within walking distance. I wrote in desperation...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: What we could do is end the military use of Shannon Airport. At the very least use the legislative powers that are there to stop the transit of arms being reported on a regular basis by The Ditch. During the previous Government, Eamon Ryan told us there would be an inspection regime. I understand that is gone by the way. The leader of the Labour Party has welcomed the occupied territories...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Mar 2025)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: The Tánaiste has refused to condemn the genocide. He has refused to condemn Trump and the American Government for fully backing genocide. We have called out Russia for its illegal invasion. We have supported the Tánaiste on that, and he has utterly failed to call out what Israel is doing. They are ignoring all international law. They are committing genocide in our name while he...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Mar 2025)

Catherine Connolly: The interruptions by all of the Government Members are a measure of their absolute absence of realisation of what is happening on the ground.
