Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Amnesty International's Report on Israel's Apartheid against Palestinians: Ireland Israel Alliance (5 Apr 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

..., it is very simple. Those NGOs were involved in terror activities. Some of them were also convicted terrorists. Further to that, some of the money they used was for terror activities within Israel and the West Bank and Gaza. The question everyone asks, or that we need to ask, is, if Israel categorises them as terrorist organisations or identifies them as supporting terrorism and how...

Journalists in Conflicts across the World: Statements (24 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: ...to us all. Those words could summarise Shireen Abu Akleh. She was a journalist who enjoyed great trustworthiness and respect across not only the Middle East but the whole world. Two weeks ago, Israel murdered her in cold blood. She was just one of many journalists targeted by the Israel Defense Forces over the past 20 years. Believe it or not, the Israel Defense Forces have a...

Palestine: Statements (15 May 2018)

John Brady: Israel can only be described as a rogue state. It presides over an apartheid system and imposes punitive collective punishment on the entire Palestinian population for simply standing up for their rights. Yesterday's murder of 60 civilians and the injuring of 2,771 others should not come as a shock nor even as a surprise to anyone in this Chamber or in the international community. Israel...

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Foreign Policy (10 Dec 2020)

Simon Coveney: There are a number of bilateral agreements between Ireland and Israel, including in the fields of visas, taxation and scientific research. Ireland's position on settlement expansion and related infrastructure development is very clear. Settlements are illegal under international law. Ireland’s position on the illegality of Israeli settlements informs our engagement with the...

Written Answers — Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Trade Relations (7 Nov 2023)

Simon Coveney: Ireland distinguishes between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied since 1967, in line with international law and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions. This position is common across all Government Departments. Under the EU Treaties, international trade is a competence vested in the European Commission whereby the Union's negotiating strength is as a bloc...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (7 Dec 2022)

Chris Andrews: With each passing week, the situation in Palestine becomes worse and worse. Israel, an apartheid terror state, makes that community an area of terror and fear for anybody who happens to be Palestinian in their homeland. Two weeks ago, apartheid forces dragged children from a primary school in Masafer Yatta to make way for bulldozers. It is another example of a community being ethnically...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Unethical Organ Harvesting in China: Discussion (10 Jul 2013)

...: Deputy Crowe asked whether legislative proposals had been successful. Different countries have produced a number of legislative proposals but the only enacted legislation that we advocate is Israel's legislation, which has been very successful. Before a report came out, Israel funded people to go to China for transplants and not just aftercare and transportation. Israel paid Chinese...

Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2023)

Gino Kenny: I commend Deputy Brady on the Bill. It is quite a modest Bill and is in line with the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement across the world to condemn apartheid Israel. The Minister of State and his Government have a chance to send a message not only to apartheid Israel, but to the world. Can he imagine the message going out that an Irish Government has finally taken the stance, through...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: EU-Israel Aviation Agreement: Motion (29 May 2013)

Dessie Ellis: I thank the Minister. I oppose the agreement, which ignores many of the problems the State and the EU has had with the behaviour of Israel. At present Israel continues to occupy Palestine and enforce an illegal blockade on Gaza, making it effectively the largest prison camp in the world. Israel denies sufficient humanitarian aid thus causing the most horrible deprivation and preventing...

Escalation of Violence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion [Private Members] (14 Nov 2023)

John Brady: Israel is carrying out war crimes in Gaza on a daily basis as it has been doing on the West Bank and in East Jerusalem for decades now. The collective punishment of the civilian population in Gaza is a war crime. It has led to the deaths of over 11,000 civilians, two thirds of whom are women and children. Some 101 UN workers have been murdered. This is the highest number in any conflict...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (8 Nov 2023)

Chris Andrews: ...I saw when I worked in the Gaza Strip were the horrors of life in an open-air prison. Now the Gaza Strip is being turned into an open-air morgue. Bodies are piling higher and higher and apartheid Israel is bombing schools, hospitals and churches. Some 88 UN aid workers have been murdered by Israeli bombs. Over 4,000 children have been brutally murdered. A child is murdered by Israel...

Leaders' Questions (15 May 2018)

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Official Engagements (30 Nov 2023)

Micheál Martin: Engagement between my Department and the Ambassador of Israel to Ireland is routinely carried out at senior official level. Such engagement is frequent and particularly important in the context of the crisis that is currently unfolding in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (26 May 2021)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Yesterday, the House agreed that Israel is acting illegally under international law. We have a window of opportunity to use the powerful lever of Horizon funding to pressure Israel to end its apartheid regime. The new Horizon fund, which is worth €95.5 billion, represents a chance to hold Israel to account in respect of what the House agreed yesterday is thede factoannexation of...

Seanad: Situation in Gaza and Ukraine: Statements (31 Jul 2014)

Averil Power: I sought this debate because like many Irish people, I have been horrified by the violence in Gaza and disappointed by our Government's response. Over the last three weeks, Israel has massacred more than 1,300 Palestinians, including over 300 children, in their homes, hospital beds and mosques, and even in UN schools and emergency shelters. It has injured a further 7,000 people, including...
