Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)

Marie Sherlock: ...we have monthly merchandised trade data. Why is Mr. Downes not relaying on any of that given that there has been a bit of volatility, particularly in terms of merchandised trade to and from Israel over the past 24 months?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)

Marie Sherlock: Okay. We are now six months on from 7 October. We had been talking with grave concern prior to that date about trade with the illegal settlements and Israel. I heard what Mr. Downes said about there being no review by the Department of the impact of suspension of the EU-Israel trade agreement on Ireland. Is the Department taking a hands-off approach here? Is it fair to characterise it as...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)

Marie Sherlock: I thank Mr. Downes for his replies. My party is very strongly of the view that we need to be much stronger in looking for trade sanctions against Israel now. I appreciate everything our guests have said about the strictures of our EU obligations but when people are being slaughtered in such a manner by the Israeli Government, it is unconscionable that the Irish State would stand back and not...

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

Marie Sherlock: ...birth. There are thousands of children in starvation and malnourishment. To be honest, I am not sure words matter anymore. Since 7 October, we have all issued thousands of words appealing to the Israeli Government, pleading with it to immediately cease its war and genocide on the Palestinian people, but it is not listening. The Israeli Government has not been forced to listen....

Seanad: Situation in Israel and occupied Palestinian territory: Statements (12 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: ...troops were used to invade a refugee camp to, as Senator Warfield so eloquently put it, "make refugees out of refugees". Some 160 Palestinians have died since the start of this year. Yes, a number of Israelis are dead as well, but we have to look at the aggressor here. We are seeing an unprecedented escalation of violence such as we have not seen in many years against the Palestinian...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I want to follow on from what Senator Ó Donnghaile said about what took place in Jenin overnight. Activities have now been escalated to a new level given the loss of life and the campaign by Israel to effectively uproot whole communities. We need to hear a clear message from the Irish Government. I very much support calls for statements next week. A second thing has to be said today....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 May 2023)

Marie Sherlock: .... It is fantastic that a regulator is to be set up to look at prices between processors and retail. We need to be able to shine that spotlight on how retailers work. The events overnight in Israel are absolutely disgraceful. We had a great occasion yesterday in the Picnic for Palestine, organised by Amnesty Ireland and Senator Black. The attacks perpetrated by Israel last night must...

Seanad: Situation in the Middle East: Statements (1 Mar 2022)

Marie Sherlock: I am glad time has been afforded to discuss the Amnesty International report into Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people.I am delighted the Palestinian ambassador is here and is joined by people from the trade union movement and beyond who have been working to agitate for the rights of the Palestinian people over many years. I am very glad they are here. I am very grateful to Senator...
