Ned O'Sullivan: ...demonstrations. If they attempted to raise such banners where Hamas and its like hold sway, they would be instantly beheaded. What does Hamas want? We know they do not want peace. They want to destroy Israel and wipe it from the face of the earth. It was not the Israelis who unravelled the Camp David and Oslo Accords. We know in Ireland the futility of violence.

Mattie McGrath: ...all those inlets. We cannot drive on the roads. Water on roads is one of the most dangerous things of all time. The best of cars will be upturned with water pertaining.

Those of us who supported the Bill, and there was support for it right across this House at the time, were making a stance against the circumstances that were leading to the hatred that is destroying the Middle East.

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...An additional €800 million in core health funding is the lowest increase in recent years. The money granted for new measures is just €100 million, down from €250 million last year.
