Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (16 May 2024)

Gino Kenny: I agree with the Tánaiste that the UN Security Council is dysfunctional. Look at the role of the United States with regard to Israel and its conduct over the past seven months, whereby 35,000 people have been killed including 15,000 children. Think about this. It is absolutely dysfunctional. The United States has played a completely detrimental role in international relations. It...

Gino Kenny: ...moment. There is persecution and the people are being tormented, brutalised, murdered, exiled and jailed. I could go on.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Gino Kenny: I acknowledge what the Tánaiste says. I acknowledge that Ireland has done more than the rest of the European Union in calling out what Israel has been doing, and not only in the past six months. If you go to the Middle East, you will find that people from Palestine are very generous in their comments on what the Irish people have done and the empathy we have shown, but we have not done...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Gino Kenny: ...or father of that child. This is being done in real time by a state that we call a friend and that has an ambassador not too far from here. Over 75 years, what has this country ever done to hold Israel to account? It has done nothing; it has been just absolute lip service. The Tánaiste comes in here every week saying the exact same things. When will Israel be punished and brought...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (30 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: ...are actively trying to reunite them with some of their relatives, especially those in dire situations. That would be very welcome. The reaction at the weekend of the Tánaiste's counterpart in Israel, Eli Cohen, to the Taoiseach's tweet was bizarre in how he distorted what the Taoiseach said. The Irish ambassador to Israel was reprimanded. In the past eight weeks, has the...

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: ...to show their solidarity. A whole cohort of people are becoming politicised by what is going on in Gaza. Not only do they see the hypocrisy of the Western powers but also the hypocrisy of the Israeli state. They see that their governments are complicit in their silence when it comes to condemnation of the Israeli state. That is not only now but also in the past. The only comparison I...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Contracts (21 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: Given the murderous assault by the Israel Defense Forces does the Tánaiste's Department intend to continue to purchase goods from Israel whether they are for defensive reasons or for dual purpose reasons? As the Tánaiste will have seen, Israel is not a normal state. Israel runs on the basis of perpetual violence and oppression. How can any state call itself a democracy while...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Contracts (21 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: Why would the Tánaiste's Department have any sort of trade agreement with the state of Israel? In the last five years, the Tánaiste's Department has procured more than €6 million of Israeli defence equipment. Some of that is for dual use. Will the Tánaiste tell me - or give me a kind of an answer - as to why in the name of hell would this country want to do any sort...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Contracts (21 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: Ireland needs to take a moral and principled stand against the state of Israel. In the past five years Ireland has spent €6 million procuring Israeli goods and services. Surely the Tánaiste is not saying that given what Israel has done in the past in the last six weeks - and continues to do - that somehow this is business as usual. Surely the Tánaiste does not believe...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: Gaza has been termed "a graveyard for children". More than 4,000 small children have been murdered by Israel, and across the world people are protesting against this savagery. We need a debate in this House to reflect the opinion on this not only in Ireland but across the world. That should reflect the untenability of the Israeli ambassador's position in Dublin. Her situation is...
