Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Again, I will say that Ireland has shown leadership on this; no big deal about it, but we have done what is the right thing to do. We work with like-minded states in the European Union. We consistently do that. We have issued a joint statement with Luxembourg, Iceland, Norway, Slovenia and Spain, countries we have worked with for quite some time on this issue. We have also worked with the Arab nations, UN agencies and the European Union, notwithstanding that some EU member states have been supportive of Israel. However, the European Union remains the biggest single donor to Palestinians, both through the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and to Palestinians more generally. That is rarely said.
