Topical Issue Debate: Christian Community in the Middle East (13 Apr 2017)

Kevin O'Keeffe: I thank the Minister for his response. I agree with what he has said. I acknowledge the good work of the NGOs, our Defence Forces and the Naval Service. However, we believe more could be done. Europe has learned its lesson from the Yugoslav war. It was a neighbouring country of EU countries. We should remember what happened there with the minority religious groups. Plenty of...

Topical Issue Debate: Christian Community in the Middle East (13 Apr 2017)

Kevin O'Keeffe: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for facilitating this debate. I am not looking for a change in foreign policy but for more emphasis to be put on this issue, which my colleagues Deputies Mattie McGrath and Noel Grealish join with me in raising today.

It is not about gardaí being out to catch people, it is about having a Garda presence in order to provide a deterrent. People say that gardaí go up and down...
