Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 34 of 819 decisive votes (8 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

In his regular statements, the Taoiseach is very happy to say - as am I - that Putin is a warmonger, tyrant and imperialist. The problem is, however, the people the Government wants us to ally with in the United States and Europe, are also brutal warmongers, imperialists and militarists. Trump is giving billions to Israel to commit a genocide in Gaza and is actively promoting the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. The first action of Friedrich Merz, the new Chancellor of Germany, is to invite Prime Minister Netanyahu, a wan…

When I spoke earlier, I asked the Minister of State whether this Government will stop facilitating the sale of Israeli war bonds through the Irish Central Bank. It is an absolute outrage that that is allowed. Maybe the Minister of State’s official can fill him in there. I am quite happy if the Minister of State wants to confer with them.

Okay. The Government raised its concern for the Middle East. In his speech, the Taoiseach said that he condemns the attacks that Israel has resumed against the people of Gaza and the ongoing attacks on the West Bank. The Government does not call it genocide. Its European partners refuse even to mention the name "Israel" when these horrific attacks are taking place, but the Taoiseach says he condemns it. I ask the Minister of State what the Government is going to do about it. As long as Israeli war bonds, which are …

Okay, grand. No problem. I am quite happy to give way to Deputy Lahart for a second question but I will take my second question. I asked the Minister of State a question about Jeffrey Goldberg and The Atlantic and the reference, to use the words in the chat, to adding to the “horribles on why the Europeans must invest in their defense" in the context of attacks on Yemen. I just want the Minister of State to understand the question here.

Post European Council Meeting: Statements
Okay. I just want to elaborate in order that people understand. They are saying that they are prompting the European Union to spend more on defence, which Ursula von der Leyen and this Council are promising to do, with the current EU expenditure on weapons, at €356 billion, more than doubling to €800 billion, in their interests. The same regime is threatening tariffs against Europe and this country. Deputy McGrath thinks we should cuddle up to it, by the way. What does the Minister of State think about that? Does h…

Does the Minister of State accept that any country in Europe that is providing weapons to Israel is guilty of complicity with genocide?
