Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

Let me emphasise again that any targeting or threatening of troops, particularly Irish troops who are fulfilling their UNIFIL duties, is to be condemned and should cease.
Regarding the issue the Deputy raised about the status of the occupied territories Bill, the Tánaiste, Taoiseach and Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, received a briefing on this matter at the start of this week from the Attorney General. My understanding is that the Cabinet will be briefed on this issue as soon as next week. We will receive an update on it. I am sure after that, the Tánaiste, as Minister for Foreign Affairs, will be able to outline if a further course of action is needed. At the moment, the Taoiseach is attending the European Council in Brussels where he will again make clear the views of the Government, Dáil and people of Ireland regarding the violence that is now engulfing the Middle East.
