Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Middle East (5 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: Ireland’s position on Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory is clear - they are illegal under international law. This was reiterated by the Attorney General at the International Court of Justice in The Hague on 22 February last. In accordance with international law, Ireland distinguishes between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied...

Report of Joint Committee on Gender Equality: Motion (29 Feb 2024)

Réada Cronin: .... There is no greater or more pressing common cause today than the massacre of the women of Gaza and their children. Two mothers are being killed every hour, their children left grieving. Thirteen thousand children killed by Israel leave their mothers mourning them forever. It is a deliberate act on the part of Israel to target mothers, the glue in families and throughout the...

Micheál Martin: ...It will have a number of dimensions to it. Clearly, it will involve an immediate ceasefire. It will also have a security dimension in respect of the longer-term sustainable security situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. There will also be the issue of normalisation between the Arab States and Israel. As part of that, then, there would be a Palestinian administration running Gaza...

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...before No. 1. Today we are seeking leave to introduce the Air Navigation and Transport (Arms Embargo) Bill 2024, which is emergency legislation that would ensure Ireland is not complicit in arming Israel and would help to curb the flow of weapons being used in Gaza. Since Israel began its relentless bombardment of Gaza, arms exports to Israel have dramatically increased. In November,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Feb 2024)

...is a big statement but it is what happened. The 27 Heads of State have to bring back control. To discuss a different issue, President von der Leyen took it upon herself to decide European policy on Israel and Gaza without proper consultation with the leaders of the 27 member states. That is a bigger issue that is outside our remit but it demonstrates that the Commission needs to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Operation and Resourcing of Coimisiún na Meán: Digital Services Commissioner (28 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: ...I will contribute again. I wish to ask about an coimisiún’s role and the role of the European Commission in tackling disinformation, that is, deliberate misinformation. Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in recent months, there has been a growing apprehension about the potential unintended repercussions of the EU’s Digital Services Act, particularly on the...

...to explore how these issues are being framed online. For instance, in our most recent research paper, published this morning, we note a continuing focus on migration and a significant amount of discourse around the Israel-Gaza conflict. Most disinformation themes are localised. In the US, migration is tied to the southern border, while in the UK, it is tied to channel crossings. In...

Micheál Martin: .... Such tender competitions are open to any company or country subject to the terms of all UN, OSCE and EU arms embargos or restrictions. There are no such restrictions or embargos in place on Israel or Israeli companies. Trade policy and market access are largely EU competencies. Both the EU and Israel are members of GATT which has established a Government procurement agreement under...

Paul Murphy: 37. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he is aware that Ireland imported €5.08 billion of goods from Israel in 2022 and €2.15 billion worth in 2021 (details supplied), yet in 2020, imports were only €138 million, which was par for the course on previous years; what precipitated the jump in trade after 2020; and as a significant trading partner...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Feb 2024)

Aidan Davitt: .... My thoughts are with all of the soldiers in Camp Shamrock today. Hezbollah's actions are despicable in using the cover of the Irish camp in Lebanon as a foil to fire indiscriminate rockets into Israel. It is putting peacekeepers under threat and my thoughts - people from Mullingar and the midlands are serving there at present, including people I would know - are certainly with those...

John Brady: ...illegal invasion by Russia of Ukraine was and still is appalling and must be condemned, so a decision was taken in that regard. In tomorrow’s game, Ireland’s under-17s women’s team will play Israel in Albania. What is the view on that game going ahead?

Seán Haughey: .... Unfortunately, yet again no conclusions were reached. Nevertheless the Taoiseach spoke on the margins of the meeting about the possibility of recognising the Palestinian state, the need to review the EU-Israel trade association agreement, given its human rights clause, the need to continue funding for United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNWRA, and as the Taoiseach has said, the...

Mary Lou McDonald: ...to correctly express outrage at the death of Alexei Navalny and call for an independent investigation into his death. It is lost on no one that the same approach has not been adopted in respect of the Israeli ambassador to Ireland. Israel has broken every rule in the book and breached every law, repeatedly and in plain sight. There are 30,000 dead in Palestine and thousands of children...

Thomas Pringle: ...contrast is stark and it is very clear that Europe does not speak with one voice on this issue. Although the EU has rightly been extremely critical of Russia, it has failed time and again to hold Israel to account for the many breaches of international law. As of today, more than 29,000 Palestinians have been killed, included 11,500 children, with a further 17,000 of whom are left...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (20 Feb 2024)

Paul Murphy: I wonder whether, in the Taoiseach's discussions with Rishi Sunak, the question of financial support for Israel's genocide in Gaza came up. Britain continues to be probably the second most enthusiastic supporter of Israel globally after the US. War bonds are a type of government debt to raise capital to fund war efforts. Does the Taoiseach agree that US Treasury bonds have effectively...
