That was today, at 1 o'clock?

It does not sound right to me that an appeal would come in in that manner given that a week or more has passed since the original decision. The whole thing is somewhat perplexing. That is all I am saying.

I do not know whether GAA Palestine is affiliated to the GAA. Normally what would happen is a sporting organisation would come to the Government of the day and say "We want to organise X, Y and Z" well in advance.

I do not know who is behind the whole thing.

Sorry, look that is-----

Whose campaign is it? Is it the Deputy's campaign or whose campaign is it? What is going on?

So would I.

Sorry, but I do not understand the way the Deputy is dealing with it. It seems to be more about the campaign than the children. I hate saying that.

I am asking legitimate questions. There was no notification that anyone was coming. You do not just rock up to the Department of justice, ad hoc , and say "Minister, come down here". He might not even have been in the building.

All of it suggests that something is not right, in my view. I am not saying anything was done wrong by the organisers but the whole thing seems haphazardly organised. That is all I can say.

It is strange; that is all I can say.

We are talking about children here. I think there should be a greater sense of organisation behind this and-----

We want to help.

Apologies. Tibet will be on the EU-China forum. We always raise issues with China. China always responds, by the way, robustly and never has any issue with the matter being raised. We do not get a satisfactory response from our perspective. On the Dalai Lama and so forth, I could not agree with the Deputy more.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 12 to 17, inclusive, together. Ireland enjoys a deep and strong relationship with Canada, a country with which we share many values. Increasingly, that relationship has an economic focus. In recent times, we have expanded our presence in Canada with consulates opened in Vancouver and Toronto in addition to our embassy in Ottawa. We also have a strong agency presence in Canada, including the IDA, Enterprise Ireland and Tourism Ireland. Ireland and Canada also have a collaborative rel…

I am amazed and somewhat shocked at the orientation and nature of the Opposition's presentations, particularly in terms of CETA. Someone said these are legitimate questions about the investor courts. The investor courts were dealt with through the European court judgment and will be dealt with in terms of the legislation. All trade agreements have to have a mediating facility and mechanism. Deputy O'Rourke stated that these are legitimate concerns in the context of fossil fuels and so on, but not one of the Deputie…

-----that we do not believe in free trade.

You are saying it. Not one of you could say you will vote for CETA or will endorse CETA.

Yes, you are against it.

You are against something in the context of which trade from Ireland went up from €936 million in 2016 to €4.1 billion in 2024.
