Situation in Gaza: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2025-05-29
============================================================

Maria Byrne (CC), Agricultural Panel

I thank the Minister of State for being here. I acknowledge that both the Tánaiste and Deputy Thomas Byrne, also a Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs, were also present. I thank them in their absence, and Deputy John Lahart, Chairman of the foreign affairs committee. I acknowledge the work of Senator Frances Black.
I welcome the group from Coole National School, who are guests of Senator Linda Nelson Murray. I hope they enjoy their visit to Leinster House, especially the Seanad. It is customary to give pupils no homework on the day of their visit.
I thank the Minister of State and the Government for their commitment to the important Bill. I thank all the speakers who contributed.
When is it proposed to sit again?
