- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (14 May 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: We should long ago have recognised the state of Palestine but the question is this. What state is the Taoiseach recognising? Is he simultaneously legitimising the ethnic cleansing of historic Palestine when he speaks of a two-state solution? I find it ironic that people who are for a united Ireland, who call themselves republicans, who would never dream of endorsing a two-state solution...

We have seen that many in the European Union and its various bodies were overly supportive of Israel and provided cover that was...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (14 May 2024)
Simon Harris: I thank colleagues for the range of questions. First, when it comes to Palestine, I very clearly outlined at the European Council this country's intention to recognise the state of Palestine. I believe we should do it this month, and that is what I am working towards with colleagues in Government, the three parties in Government and also with European counterparts, including the Prime...
