Listen to the Labour Party proposals.

Do something about it.

I want to continue on this theme because I feel fundamentally depressed by what is unfolding internationally. The only internationally supported long-term peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was and is a viable two-state solution, a viable and internationally recognised state of Israel and a viable and internationally recognised state of Palestine. That is now being made impossible, day by day, by the illegal settlement on Palestinian lands. We really need a strategy to deal with that.

I do not doubt for a second the Minister's sincerity in this regard. This is not just this House condemning a particular act of violence or a particular atrocity, however. It is the undermining of the basis for lasting peace in a situation that has often been the root of a conflict that has spread across the world over recent decades. The West Bank is the main part of the Palestinian territories. Israel has now constructed 130 settlements that house more than 700,000 settlers. As the Minister has heard, the Israeli…

It is no use all of us saying we will continue to condemn and so on if the basis for a solution is fundamentally undermined and made impossible. Then, we are talking about a single state. Is that the only viable outcome that is left? That will mean permanent conflict in Israel, in my view. We heard the Israeli finance minister, Mr. Bezalel Smotrich, say there is "no such thing" as a Palestinian people and his claim that the Palestinian people are a fictitious nation. That is what he said. That is articulating what …

They robbed the Palestinians of hope, which will lead to violence.

There will be lots of new claims.

Expansion is the word.

A strain.

One of the very few occasions in my long service here where I attended a meeting with a viewpoint that was supported by every political party of the island of Ireland was at a meeting in Belfast City Hall during which the legacy Bill was opposed. I have never signed a document that was signed by every shade of opinion, nationalist, republican and unionist, North and South, in opposition to this Bill. The Tánaiste obviously warmly welcomed the decision of the Council of Europe and its Council of Ministers. It is the…

It is a founding member of it.

In terms of having a strategy to stop this Bill being enacted, has the Tánaiste had discussions with other parties in the Westminster Parliament? They could be with the Labour Party, being the largest party of opposition, to see how it can work towards stopping it or with the House of Lords in terms of its input, which has been effective in terms of Brexit negotiations in the past. My second question is on the compliance with the convention in relation to the Pat Finucane case and whether there has been any progres…

There is a palpable sense of relief in Wexford this morning. What could yesterday evening have become an historic tragedy was averted by the calm, dedicated professionalism of the emergency services in Wexford. Our fire brigade, local authority staff, Civil Defence, ambulance services, hospital staff and management, the voluntary sector and, indeed, private ambulance operators all immediately rallied to the cause supported magnificently by the entire health community. All are due remarkable praise for an outstandin…

Bhí spiorad agus cumhacht muintir Loch Garman sofheicthe tráthnóna inné. Tá an spiorad céanna ag teastáil ón Rialtas inniu. The commitment must be that whatever emerges today from the emergency planning task force, which is sitting as we speak, whatever is requested in terms of additional vehicles for the ambulance service will be provided. It is a long way from the south-east corner of Wexford to another hospital if Wexford General Hospital is not available so that must be provided, along with interim steps. There…

The Government must do what is required.

The clarity that is required is that the Government is committed that everything that was in Wexford General Hospital will be back.

What about the climate?
