Robert Troy: I welcome the Minister of State's reply. He is correct that St. Patrick's Day is a unique opportunity for unparalleled access across the globe and is something we should be very proud of. We have an opportunity this year to promote our values. The values we are talking about are our opposition to the war in Gaza. I welcome that he said that in the event that no ceasefire is in place by...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Neale Richmond: I again thank the Deputy for his comments. We all agree that the Government has certainly not been silent when it comes to this brutal conflict in Gaza nor have we been inactive.

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Minister of State for his answer and the clarity concerning the ability, or otherwise, of the Minister to engage in this matter.

Middle East

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Robert Troy: I thank the Minister of State for coming in this evening. How can we justify our allies' role in the genocide happening in Gaza? Can we stand by and say nothing? The simple answer is that we cannot. I refer to the line used by our allies, namely, that Hamas carried out its attack first. This was an attack that this Parliament was united in condemning, but an attack the UN Secretary...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)
