Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: When I sat down this morning to prepare my words and think about what I was going to offer to this debate today, I thought about some of the images from last week of people in our international protection system being bussed to Crooksling and then walking back, of the testimony from their advocates and some of the conversations I had with some of those sleeping in tents over the last number...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (21 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: 161. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport how Transport Infrastructure Ireland's current practice of negotiating with groups and organisations outside of An Bord Pleanála oral hearings, not disclosing any details of subsequent agreements to An Bord Pleanála, and citing non-disclosure agreements as the reason (NDAs), is appropriate in the planning of publicly-funded...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (20 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: There was a time when I could proudly refer to the EU as a peace project. I can no longer refer to it in such terms. There has been a degree of apathy among some nations. I do not hold us accountable for that. We have stood out because the bar was so low. Given that what is happening has already met the standard of a genocide and a famine is approaching, how can this week’s...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: Has the Government made a decision on if and when Ireland will support South Africa's case against Israel at the ICJ? On 30 January, the Tánaiste informed the Dáil that an urgent legal analysis of South Africa's case to the ICJ had commenced. Has that analysis been concluded? What was the determination in that regard? I would like to know what the Government is going to do.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: My question pertains specifically to South Africa's case at the ICJ. I welcome that the Attorney General represented Ireland very well at the public hearings, but my question specifically relates to the process by which we will align ourselves with South Africa's case. I would like to understand the work that has been undertaken to this point. How many people, for example, are working on...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: Why would we-----

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: What possible motivation would we have to play politics around genocide? The Tánaiste can nod his head, but the insult of that suggestion is extraordinary.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: We are not the only ones who take to our social media. Six days ago, the Tánaiste had a big post on his social media saying how he was doing everything in his power in respect of this matter. This is a Chamber where we debate ideas and discuss the most serious issues. What Deputy Carthy and I have said - the Tánaiste has backed this up - is that there are other means by which...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: International Relations (7 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: Could the Tánaiste outline whether he expressed that Ireland is protesting against Israel's actions in Gaza? The ambassador was summoned with that purpose in mind, namely, for us to outline that under the Geneva Convention Israel is obliged to avoid genocide, indicate that we feel that what is happening in Gaza meets the criterion in that regard and to ask Israel to account for itself....

Gary Gannon: 4. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the reason the Israeli ambassador has not been summoned by his Department after the killing of a person (details supplied) despite the Russian ambassador rightfully being summoned in the wake of another death in Russia; and the reason the same standards are not applied to both. [11135/24]

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: International Relations (7 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: The Tánaiste has at several points today referenced the need for the international community to keep the pressure on Israel. One way we in Ireland can do that is to summon the ambassador, as would be the normal diplomatic convention. Why has the Tánaiste not done that to date?
