Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

Another day, another massacre by Israel in Gaza. In the latest attack, 17 people were killed in a school-turned-shelter in Nuseirat. Among those murdered are Mamdouh, 11 months old; a five-year old, Malak; a seven-year-old, Hamad; an eight-year-old, Mahmoud; Moatassem, nine years old; and many others. Clearly, Israel is not going to stop murdering, killing and massacring until it is stopped. We need sanctions and we need them urgently. Could the foreign affairs committee meet next week to do Committee Stage of the occupied territories Bill? The Dáil is not required to meet. The committee could meet, which would move the Bill along and allow the real possibility that it Bill could be passed before the end of the Dáil term.
