Paul Murphy: While the Taoiseach was away yesterday, the Ministerfor Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Deputy Harris, took Leaders' Questions and he said that Israel is waging a war on children.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Nov 2023)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: It is a huge issue that Israel has never been called out or held to account for its many crimes.

Richard Boyd Barrett: What scale of atrocity does Israel have to commit to trigger EU sanctions against it? I ask this in all seriousness.

The scale of human suffering and the depth of grief is...
