Ukraine War
Dail Éireann — 2023-01-31
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Since Russia commenced its unjustified and unprovoked further invasion of Ukraine, we have consistently expressed Ireland's unwavering solidarity with Ukraine and support for its sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. We have used our voice at the UN Security Council, the UN Human Rights Council and other multilateral fora to call for accountability for international crimes committed in Ukraine. Ireland has pushed for the Security Council to hold Russia accountable, to urge it to end its war in Ukraine immediately, and to call out Russia’s cynical attempts to use the Council and other UN bodies to spread disinformation.
As I said earlier, I was shocked last week that in the European Parliament, two Members from Ireland went against the resolution to establish a tribunal to hold Russia to account for the crime of aggression. It is incredible that two Irish MEPs, Mick Wallace and Clare Daly, would oppose such a resolution.
