Several solidarity protests have been organised in this State since the murder of Mahsa. The Iranian community has been the key driver of these protests, which have been supported by other groups such as students at Trinity College and the socialist feminist group ROSA. These actions should at the very least be matched by the actions of the State. I hear the point the Minister is making. He met his Iranian counterpart at the UN on 21 September and the Department is monitoring the situation in Iran but how much more needs to happen? How many more people need to be killed before the Minister summons the Iranian ambassador to Iveagh House to let his views be known on this and to symbolise Irish opposition to Iranian state murder and Irish support for the Woman, Life, Freedom revolt?
