Seanad: Situation in the Middle East: Statements (1 Mar 2022)

Joe O'Reilly: I welcome the Minister of State to the House and thank him for his remarks. It is important to reiterate it is Ireland's policy to achieve the two-state solution and that Ireland totally condemns all breaches of international law and all denial of human rights, and that we are unequivocal about that. That is not in any sense to be interpreted, as is sometimes said, as some form of...

Seanad: Situation in Ukraine: Statements (1 Mar 2022)

Joe O'Reilly: I welcome the Minister. His handling of this situation is exactly how the Irish people would want it to be done on all fronts. There are three words that come to mind as I think about this - medieval, barbaric and tsarist. We are back to the worst of tsarist Russia. Innocence is suffering. I saw a news headline on my phone that stated 350 civilians have died in Ukraine, including 14...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament (23 Feb 2022)

Joe O'Reilly: Is tráthnóna speisialta agus an-tábhachtach an tráthnóna seo. Táimid ag plé le cúrsaí Eorpacha, rudaí atá riachtanach, an-réalaíoch agus an-tábhachtach dúinn go léir ag an mbomaite. Tá deacrachtaí faoi leith againn san Eoraip anois. Tá siad ag cur isteach ar gach rud agus tá díomá,...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament (23 Feb 2022)

Joe O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Kelleher for an interesting, wide-ranging and good scene-setting address. It should hopefully provoke responses. Europe has probably been the greatest peace process of all time. This person contributed immensely to the peace on this island when he was national president of the GAA, through his removal of the ban. He did much to advance understanding on the island. It is my...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament (23 Feb 2022)

While former Senator Kelleher is a former distinguished Member of the Seanad, I personally served with former Senator O’Sullivan and many people here did. She was one of our very respected, warm and...
