The Senator spoke already. She does not have an opportunity to respond. The business is statements, unfortunately.

There is no opportunity under Standing Orders for the Senator to intervene. That concludes the statements. I thank the Minister of State for his time. Before I call the Deputy Leader, I welcome guests of our colleague Senator McCarthy from the school of law in Quinnipiac University and New York. I hear they are studying in Trinity College, so they did not have to come too far. They are welcome. I hope they have a lovely day. I also welcome guests of Senator Kelleher from the Ballincollig Tidy Towns committee, who a…

Is that agreed? Agreed.

I welcome the ambassador as well and acknowledge the work she has done over recent months and years. We had a productive meeting yesterday in the foreign affairs committee. It could have gone on for two or three more hours it was so impressive. I am happy to see Senator Andrews in the Chair now because League of Ireland and grassroots soccer is something he and I are passionate about. The FAI has done excellent work over recent years, particularly in its 2022-2025 strategy, 80% of which is completed. This work has …

I thank the Minister of State for the response. He is right that there has been an awful lot of money given over the past number of years to support the FAI and grassroots level in terms of the €30 million. It is important to note that the people leading the FAI now have, as the Minister of State said, delivered on the memorandum of understanding. Some 98% of that has been completed.

Pursuant to Standing Order No. 165. it is reported to the Seanad that the Title has been amended.

When is it proposed to take the next Stage?

Is that agreed? Agreed.

I am sharing time with Senator Kelleher, if that is agreeable. I thank the Tánaiste. He is very welcome to the Chamber and thank him for being here. When we first talk about Palestine, Gaza and the conflict there, it is always important that we put on the record that what happened on 7 October was terrible. There were 1,195 people murdered by Hamas and 251 hostages taken. No one can possibly justify that. We call on those hostages to be released immediately. Reflecting on Ireland’s response since then, we can say w…
