Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...We generally ask questions on the whole scenario of tight auditing and making sure there is no corruption.

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ..., and 704 Palestinians killed in the last 24 hours. There is nothing else this can be called but a war crime and forced displacement. It can be called ethnic cleansing.

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...starting point. I agree with everyone that there is a certain element of despondency concerning where we go from here. We welcome some of the actions taken by the Government.
