Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

I thank the Deputy, who is, of course, raising such a serious issue regarding what is happening in the Middle East and what is happening to the people of Gaza. I have outlined the Government's view on it and what we are doing to make a difference. I am not in a position and nor do I have the necessary information in front of me today to offer a view on the actions of other parliaments or governments in relation to this. All I can do is reiterate two points. First, we in Ireland recognise and will continue to recognise the right of people to assemble in a peaceful way to make their voice clear in relation to what is happening to the people of Gaza. Second, we as a Government will continue to do what we can, which I outlined earlier today, to make a practical and political difference to the terrible suffering that the people of Gaza have had to endure.
