Micheál Martin: I would genuinely like to see who is going forward after the elections and so forth. In any case, I am well used to it at this stage in terms of the flip-flopping and the perspectives. At one level, they will attack-----

Matt Carthy: This is too serious for the Minister's messing.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: European Union (9 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: It is very serious. That is why the Deputy needs to get serious. I sometimes do not know whether it is the Davy Stockbrockers-----

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Tá an t-am caite.

Micheál Martin: One second, please. The Chair allowed all of them to interrupt. I want to finish my comments with the following.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: European Union (9 May 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: The Minister is over time.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: European Union (9 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: Everyone has been over time. I want to make the point that we sometimes get a Davy Stockbrokers view of Sinn Féin policy, we sometimes get a kind of view from the Deputies in here but it depends on who they are talking to, and whether they are talking to the financiers or the developers. They change their tack all of the time.

Matt Carthy: I do not mind the Minister playing politics but on this issue, he should not.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: European Union (9 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: The same applies to Europe. Sinn Féin spokespeople will sidle off to Europe and have their meetings with the Commission, have their meetings with civil servants and tell them all they have a different view from the one they articulate publicly in the House.

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: European Union (9 May 2024)

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (9 May 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: 55. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to report on his most recent communications with his European counterparts in relation to imposing sanctions on Israel in light of the International Court of Justice’s recent ruling that there is a plausible case that Israel may be committing genocide in Gaza; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20911/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (9 May 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I hope it is clear at this stage that there is no level of atrocity that Israel is not willing to commit against the Palestinian people. It should have been clear long before now for a state that was built on ethnic cleansing on an ongoing basis, on apartheid and on a 17-year-long siege of Gaza, but now, when we look at the massacre in Gaza, it should be clear. Under the genocide...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (9 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: I will answer the question the Deputy has tabled and I will then deal with the specifics of his further questions. Sanctions are a tool of the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy and part of a comprehensive approach to the pursuit of EU foreign policy objectives, along with political dialogue and other complementary efforts and instruments. Ireland actively pushed for agreement at EU...

Richard Boyd Barrett: People Before Profit put a motion to the Dáil in November of last year asking the Government to take a case against Israel for genocide under the ICJ and it voted against it. Now, belatedly, because South Africa did what Ireland should have done, the Government is saying there will be some class of intervention. I suppose later is better than not at all, but when we consider the horror...

Micheál Martin: When the Deputy spoke earlier about the International Court of Justice, I do not think he was upfront with the Irish people in terms of how it works, and he was deliberately populist and polemic about it. That has been the case on many issues around this question. Ireland wants to be credible in terms of how it legally intervenes in international courts so that when we do it, we do it with...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (9 May 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I have been campaigning for Palestinian rights since I was there in 1987 - I lived there - and my position has been very consistent over a very long time, as has been the movement in this country of solidarity with Palestine. My position is that, in relation to the apartheid state of Israel, we need to do what was done to the apartheid state of South Africa. A state based on apartheid and...

Micheál Martin: Come on. Is the Deputy seriously suggesting we can effectively dismantle the Israeli state?
