Mary Lou McDonald (SF), Dublin Central

Gan dabht, tá na gaolta sin uilig an-tábhachtach ar fad. That is why I have raised the question with the Taoiseach. I am not in the least bit complacent. I am deeply concerned about the international order at this time and Ireland's place within it. Peace is not achieved by investing in and financing war. Every rule in the book is being set aside to enable Europe to invest €800 billion in weapons of war. That is patently not a peace strategy. This country is a neutral country and militarily unaligned, and that places us in the strongest position to advocate for international law, the UN system and real processes of dialogue and conflict resolution, which is where we need to be. Can the Taoiseach set out much more clearly what exactly he will say on Ukraine and, in particular, on Gaza and the Palestinian question?
