-----so there are issues there that we need to work through if we are honest about this.

The presidential election is about the person who people believe is the best person to hold the Presidency over the next seven years.

With respect, the Deputy raised it.

Sorry-----

I am just responding to the Deputy. This Government has done a lot, internationally, through the various international legal forums and so on. We have sought advice on one aspect, but I have referenced in the House on a number of occasions that the objective here is not to punish Ireland. I read out that section from the Oireachtas committee report in terms of repercussions for multinational companies based in Ireland. What will be the repercussions for them in the United States-----

-----because of boycotts and divestment? There is an issue there. Is it beyond us-----

Is there something wrong with raising that issue?

I am just surfacing that issue.

All I am saying is there are very real issues-----

All I am saying is there are very real issues we should be clear-eyed about. That is all I am saying.

We have been to the ICC and the ICJ. We have achieved a lot in highlighting and profiling this.

I think it is wrong the Deputy should constantly undermine and denigrate the Government in respect of this. I genuinely do.

I, along with many in the House, again offer my deepest condolences to Harvey Morrison Sherratt's family, his parents Gillian and Stephen, and to all those who have lost children in difficult and very challenging circumstances. I acknowledge and accept we need to do better in respect of the children of this country, particularly in terms of access to timely healthcare. Optimally, every child should receive treatment and a surgical intervention when it is recommended by the clinicians at the right time. It concerns …

The Minister and the Tánaiste have met with Gillian and Stephen and the advocates in respect of any potential inquiry and its structures. There will be further meetings in respect of an inquiry. There are a number under way into specific aspects within CHI. Ideally, they should inform the structure and nature of the inquiry. We have to be clear-eyed and honest with people about that in terms of timelines and a whole range of issues. The fundamental objective is to improve services and get timely access for children…

In the general election, the people voted for everybody who is in this House. We formed a government following the general election. That is a fundamental point. Motions in themselves are not going to improve services but-----

-----proper examination through inquiries, yes.

No, I do not have that report. I am not sitting on any report. What I have articulated is common sense;, that is all. No decision has been taken by the Government. Goods are immediately traceable through customs documentation, as I said, certificates of origin and physical supply chains.

Anybody who knows anything about trade could not disagree with what I have said. I understand fully the need to keep the pressure on and we want this peace to succeed.

The Israeli Government must allow-----

-----unhindered aid in, distributed by the UN. Hamas should stop what it is doing, in terms of its violence in Gaza and its intimidation of others. Hamas should stop as well and that needs to be said in this House, unequivocally.
