Ruth Coppinger: Stick to the question on the occupied territories Bill.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2025)
Simon Harris: The way this place works is that the Deputy asks a question and then I have the right to answer. It is a democracy, so I ask that my mandate be respected too because I would like to answer the question. Surely to God, it does not need to be the case in everything that the Deputy is morally superior than everyone over here. Surely to God, sometimes we can actually recognise that it does...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2025)
Simon Harris: I would like to know because it is by all of us coming together that we will create the momentum that Netanyahu's genocide cannot be tolerated. What the Deputy said about Shannon Airport is an attempt to conflate a number of issues. It is an attempt to suggest somehow or other that Shannon Airport is being used to assist with the horrific activity in Gaza. There is no evidence of that...

Ruth Coppinger: The point of my contribution was that we are the second biggest trader with Israel. It is worth €3.3 billion. The occupied territories Bill is a fraction of that. It is a welcome step. The question is why the Government is not moving forward the whole occupied territories Bill that was originally proposed in the Dáil six years ago. It was unanimously or certainly...

A Deputy: Not True.

Ruth Coppinger: -----to use the levers. The levers are there, but is the Government willing to pull them?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2025)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is not true
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2025)
Ruth Coppinger: The first lever is the occupied territories Bill. The Government needs to move it and make sure the Bill gets in before the recess. However, there are other issues such as Shannon Airport and the Bill on the Israeli war bonds, which the Tánaiste and members of Government voted down. The bar is low in the EU. There is no point in comparing yourself to them.

Ruth Coppinger: This is about a neutral country standing up for the people of Palestine.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2025)
Simon Harris: The people of Palestine know we are standing up for them. Deputy Coppinger might not want to acknowledge or appreciate that. The Palestinian ambassador wrote to Sligo County Council in the past week and said Ireland's commitment to international law and human rights will always be seen and commended by the Palestinian people. Every effort by the Government of Ireland to stop...
