If things do not improve there, we should give consideration to not participating in the Eurovision Song Contest when it is held in Israel next year. The music industry could decide not to put...

Dan Boyle: ...because the attitude of the Government is being expressed in the debate. Within the country there are people with a different perspective on events in the Middle East.

Seanad: Order of Business. (4 Mar 2008) See 2 other results from this debate

John Gerard Hanafin: I share the views of Senators calling for a debate on the Middle East situation. Iran is fighting a proxy war with Israel by supplying Hamas with missiles that have the capacity to reach into the state of Israel in the knowledge that there will be retaliation. Sadly, this has escalated to the point that an Israeli minister has, as mentioned by Senator Norris, used the term "Shoah", an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: EU Presidency Objectives, Foreign Affairs Council and Membership of Human Rights Council: Discussion (17 Jul 2013)

Pat Breen: Before opening the floor to members, I wish to pose one question. As the Tánaiste is aware, the committee recently visited Jordan, Palestine and Israel and met the Foreign Ministers in each jurisdiction. People in Jordan and Palestine are treating the Middle East peace process and the initiative taken by US Secretary of State John Kerry as urgent. They see that latter as offering a...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (16 Nov 2023)

Pearse Doherty: Yesterday, the Minister and his Government shamefully voted against Sinn Féin's motion to refer Israel to the International Criminal Court for the war crimes and crimes against humanity and genocide that we are seeing in Gaza over the past month. This is as the bombs continue to rain down on the people of Gaza. This is as we continue to see infants, babies, dying in hospitals in Gaza...

Seanad: Situation in Palestine: Motion (21 Feb 2024)

Barry Ward: ...many times, has identified in the motion a series of comprehensive actions that this State can and should take.

Diplomatic Representation. (23 Apr 2009) See 4 other results from this debate

Lucinda Creighton: At a Council meeting in December, it was agreed that bilateral relations with Israel be upgraded. I assume the Government supported this position at the time. Claiming that the proposed EU-Israel summit should not proceed is flawed logic, as we need to engage. Since I do not understand, what is the Minister's logic for refusing to upgrade the bilateral relationship with Israel? There...

Cathal Berry: ...and his team for coming in today. We are aware that there are a lot of demands on his time at the moment so we very much appreciate his insights. First, he mentioned that Hamas actually waged war on Israel, which nobody else has really picked up on nationally. It has declared war on Israel. I would be grateful for the Tánaiste's assessment on this. If Israel unilaterally embarked...

Simon Coveney: Israel is not the primary actor in this dispute over electricity supplies to Gaza, which is primarily one between the Palestinian Authority and the de facto Hamas authorities in Gaza, who still control the Strip. For some years Hamas has charged customers in Gaza for electricity supplied from Israel, but refused to pass these revenues to the Palestinian Authority, which pays Israel to supply...

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Legislative Measures (26 Nov 2020)

Simon Coveney: .... This is the clear legal advice on this matter. The Government will therefore not be taking it forward. As it stands, however, EU law does already make a meaningful distinction between Israel, and settlements in occupied territory. This distinction has important practical effects. Since settlements are not part of Israel, the EU-Israel Association Agreement does not apply to them....

Written Answers — Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Export Controls (14 Feb 2024)

Matt Carthy: 122. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if in light of suspension of two export licences in relation to the export of gunpowder to Israel by the government of Wallonia, he believes that the order for provisional measures of the International Court of Justice of 26 January 2024 in the case of South Africa v. Israel may have implications regarding the issuance of export...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Dec 2023)

Holly Cairns: ...and indiscriminate destruction can western leaders stomach? More than 15,000 people have now been massacred in Gaza, including at least 6,000 children. Will 5,000 more Palestinian lives satisfy Israel's desire to seek revenge? Will it be 10,000, 20,000, or is there any number of Palestinian lives lost that is deemed unacceptable? Nearly two months ago, Israel gave more than 1...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (6 Dec 2023)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...Union is gone. It has been trashed. Everyone can see it. The European Union rushed to impose sanctions on Russia for an illegal invasion and murderous assault and stands by and either supports Israel in its actions, continues to arm it and trade with it or, at best, utters words of criticism but says there is nothing we can do while the slaughter continues. That is shameful. Yes,...
