Situation in the Middle East: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2024-02-20
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I met the children on the way in. They were also in the other House, where I was speaking on the war in Ukraine. I hope the school does not mind me saying this, but is it not saying something that the two debates they have witnessed so far are debates about unspeakable wars? It is a sign of our times, but you are our future and we hope we can give you a more peaceful legacy than the one we have inherited.
