Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (7 Mar 2024)

James Lawless: ...from a legal perspective the offences but it also gave the world a concept to focus around and prosecute again. I am also mindful of the Eichmann trial in 1961, when Eichmann was repatriated to Israel and put on trial. The trial ran for many weeks and months. The benefit of that trial was that not only was Eichmann brought to justice but it allowed the survivors and the victims of the...

Consultative Forum on International Security Policy Report: Statements (22 Nov 2023)

James Lawless: ...we not do it? I get confused when people say that we are neutral. The people who seem to be saying most loudly that we must be neutral are the same voices that say that we must actively intervene in the war in Israel and Gaza at the moment. We cannot have it both ways. We cannot be neutral in one direction and not neutral in the other direction. I do not personally believe we are...

Situation in the Middle East and the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Statements (18 Oct 2023)

James Lawless: ...arena today. I have lost track of the various accounts of the hospital bombing that happened last night. It was horrific. That hardly needs to be said. However, reports came from Islamic Jihad, the Israelis and Hamas, and again from the Israelis, and they are now back to saying that a parking lot adjacent to the hospital was hit and not the hospital at all.

I understand the traditional sympathy for Palestine in Ireland. I share...

James Lawless: ..., the Brazil, Russia, India, China economies, or the United States. We are part of the EU block, and I suppose part of that is our competitor, but our competition is the small advanced economies, such as New Zealand, Denmark, Israel or South Korea. Those are states that invest heavily in research and development, R&D. The last Government's R&D target was 2.5% of GDP but got...

Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: From the Seanad (19 Jun 2019)

James Lawless: ...ambition either. Not every country might be at 2.5% of GDP but many of our competitors for foreign direct investment and intellectual property generation, such as Singapore, Finland, Denmark and Israel, are. If we do not do it, this is a mobile resource that will move elsewhere. It is important to note that as well. Let us aim for the stars and see how far we get.

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: European Southern Observatory Membership: Motion (20 Jun 2018)

James Lawless: ...in the matter, so I look forward to progressing it. I understand completely the argument about why full membership of CERN is preferable to associate membership, but it might be worth looking at the Israeli model. What Israel has done is to go down the path where one has a higher level than associated membership and one gets between 25% to 30% back, above the 10% back that one gets as...
