Bríd Smith: Actions absolutely speak louder than words. I start by paying tribute to the very brave and committed students of Trinity College Dublin who, after five or six days of a sit-in, managed to get full boycott divestment from the Israeli state from the authorities in the university. This is a very hopeful sign in the midst of what is a desperate and hopeless situation as Israel moves to its...

Micheál Martin: -----as is everybody else in this House. We have a parliamentary democracy in this country which I respect, and I respect the views of all citizens. I am under no illusion about the strength of feeling across the entire Irish people about what is happening within Palestine, and to Palestinians in Gaza in particular. My own party has been consistently supportive of a Palestinian right to...

Bríd Smith: I have not denied that the Tánaiste has said a lot. He has said a lot diplomatically and legally and about humanitarian criticism on stopping the aid to UNRWA. He has said a lot. What I am asking is what he is going to do? The question of deed is at the heart of my argument. I was a young shop steward when the Dunnes Stores strike against apartheid happened. I knew Karen Gearon and...

Pearse Doherty: Are 70% of nurses and midwives who work in our hospitals wrong when they say they are concerned about patient safety because of the levels of staffing? Is the outgoing president of the INMO wrong which she says that things are far worse now for patients and staff in hospitals? There are people in Australia and elsewhere who cannot come back and get a job as nurses owing to the embargo. The...

Micheál Martin: I made the point already that graduate nurses, qualified nurses and midwives committed to and coming through the international recruitment pipeline, emergency department, ICU, maternity and community nurses are all exempt from the recruitment pause. Recruitment of nurses has continued. That is this issue. The other point, which the Deputy did not seem to pick up on, is that expenditure...

Micheál Martin: An additional €7 billion has been invested in the health service since 2020. When people say it is worse, I do not accept that because our survival rates have improved significantly over the past decade. There is room for significant improvement in certain locations. We need very rigorous examination of certain sites as to how people are deployed to get optimal outcomes and improve...

Cian O'Callaghan: An image popped up on my social media last night showing two boys in Rafah, their tiny bodies crushed under mountains of debris, the latest victims of Israel's atrocities in Gaza. The world will probably never know their names. We will not know how many siblings they had, what their favourite hobby was, what they wanted to be when they grew up, how scared they were for the past seven...

Micheál Martin: I agree with the Deputy that the death toll and the horrors happening in Gaza are quite shocking. The death toll is now in excess of 34,000. Over 1.9 million people have been displaced and, of course, thousands of people have been badly injured as a result. On my recent visit to Rafah, UN representatives spoke about the degree of psychosocial trauma that the entire population, particularly...

Pearse Doherty: Tá an cosc earcaíochta sna seirbhísí sláinte ag cruthú go leor deacrachtaí agus anois tá 70% d’altraí ag rá go bhfuil sábháilteacht othar i mbaol. The effects of the Government's recruitment embargo are to be seen right across the State. They are to be seen in the number of patients forced to languish on trolleys in...

Micheál Martin: First, ní aontaím go hiomlán leis an Teachta. Ní dóigh liom go bhfuil an méid atá ráite aige cruinn maidir leis an méid daoine atá ag obair sna seirbhísí sláinte, go háirithe agus an méid banaltraí ag dul in airde. Is é fianaise an scéil go bhfuil i bhfad níos mó daoine ag obair anois sna...
