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

Regina Doherty: ...days and I am embarrassed to say I have not been able to respond to all of them. I am pleased to be able to stand here tonight and support the Palestinian people. I have no notion as to what the Israeli people felt like after 7 October. They probably were enraged and suffering from shock, grief, horror, anger and everything. What we have seen over the past number of months is a people...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Dec 2023)

Regina Doherty: The proposal will be to adjourn sine die. I want to add my voice to the sentiments expressed about the ongoing war between Israel and Gaza. I welcome Senator Higgins back. It is lovely to see her. I could never put into words what she expressed this morning. She is very eloquent. She admits she is emotional but that is what makes her contributions so powerful because she is very...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Dec 2023)

Regina Doherty: I would like to support the UN request for a ceasefire in Gaza. I do not say that due to any particular ideology. I think I stood here a number of weeks to say that Israel had an absolute right to defend itself arising from that horrific attack on 7 October, but I think we can all see the humanitarian need and the needless loss of life on our screens every single hour. I support our...

Regina Doherty: ...say that we should be doing something. I want to let people know that we actually are calling for a ceasefire. This is not necessarily just a humanitarian ceasefire, as I know that language is being used by some international leaders who would be supportive of Israel. We all should be supportive of Israel's right to defend itself but by the same token we are all well able to see the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: ...the events that are, unfortunately, ongoing in Gaza. Senator Clonan has previous expertise in this area so, when he speaks, people actually listen. I was criticised the other day for speaking about Israel’s right to defend itself while blaming and giving out about the actions of Hamas, which are not in the name of the people its members live among. I do not really understand the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Oct 2023)

Regina Doherty: ...or not, in any situation. There is a genuine justification for the care of innocent people, including innocent Palestinians who do not support Hamas or any violence in their name, innocent Israelis and international people who are missing and being searched for. It is a horrendous situation. If there was ever a need for the international community to double down and genuinely show a...

Senator Black spoke about the six Palestinian groups that have suddenly been designated as terrorist groups by the Israelis.

One only has to look to Israel to see the positive impact that mass vaccination is having on the Israeli people, their lifestyle, economy and communities. It is something to look forward to. Senator Kyne...

Regina Doherty: ...today that we need touchtone information as to why announcements are being made so that we can appreciate and follow them.
