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

Jerry Buttimer (CC), Labour Panel

I thank the Tánaiste for being here. He has to leave the Chamber. The Minister of State, Deputy Fleming, is going to take his seat. At this juncture, I appeal to people regarding time. Also, while it is not often done, the official to my left is in my GAA club, works in the Department of Foreign Affairs and was a pivotal person in Ireland's battle for a UN Security Council seat, Eoghan McSwiney. He is welcome to the Seanad.
