The British Government has put £3.3 billion on the table to deal...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jan 2024)

Seán Haughey: ...least. It must be said that the EU has not covered itself in glory when it comes to this issue. What we need now more than ever is an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (6 Dec 2023)

Seán Haughey: ...economic zone. The report also says that we are only now beginning to examine the risks to our society posed by climate change. It goes on to state that our geographical location no longer provides us with the protection that it once did, for example, as it did during the Second World War. As I have said previously in the House, it would have been reckless and irresponsible of the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Trade Missions (15 Nov 2023)

Ceisteanna - Questions: International Relations (8 Nov 2023)

Seán Haughey: ...the international community has neglected its responsibility to bring about a just and lasting two-state solution in the region.

European Council Meeting: Statements, Questions and Answers (12 Jul 2023)

Seán Haughey: ...expulsions and forced transfers in the occupied Palestinian territory are unrelenting.

Seán Haughey: ...membership facilitated broad alignment of equality and human rights law in the past and that now there is a danger of divergence across the island of Ireland in relation to human rights.
