Brian Stanley: ...What we have seen over the past six weeks in the Middle East has shocked all decent people in the world, including in this country. I condemn the actions of Hamas on 7 October and its attacks on Israeli civilians. In particular, I extend my sympathy to the family of Kim Damti. They are related to the Cooper family in Coolrain near where I come from in south Laois. They have been...

Brian Stanley: ...of it. The aspect we are discussing at this meeting is the Irish money and other EU funds that are going in there but the human aspect is the most important part of it.

Annexation of Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (25 May 2021)

Brian Stanley: The State has a responsibility to call out the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and the system of apartheid that that has enforced for over five decades.

The Israeli military onslaught has driven Palestinians out of their homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem...

We all stood by and watched in shock the recent bombardment of Gaza, the damage caused to its infrastructure and...
