Richard Boyd Barrett

To sell weapons to Israel.

27. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Taoiseach if he will report on his recent attendance at the commemoration for the liberation of Auschwitz. [9491/25]

All my active political life, I have been campaigning against antisemitism and racism and campaigning to remind people of the horrors of the Holocaust. When David Irving, the Nazi apologist, came to meetings in this country to deny that the Holocaust ever happened, I was the organiser of the protests against it. I arranged for Jewish Auschwitz survivors to tour this country, to speak on national t…

That is not true. You are misleading people.

Many do not feel comfortable with that definition. Why does the Taoiseach not deal with that?

As long as German and American weapons flow, the genocide continues.

There would be no Hamas if it were not for Israel committing these crimes.

Hamas did not exist 25 years ago. Israel has been committing crimes for decades.

Deflect, deflect, deflect.

Contempt, arrogance, sleveen politics and speaking out of both sides of your mouth------

----- are what were on display at the Dáil reform committee on the part of the Government last night. Why is that important? It is not just contempt, arrogance and the Government speaking out of both sides of its mouth that are a problem for the Opposition, but it is the mask slipping on a more general approach of the Government, which is about arrogance, contempt and speaking out of both sides of…

Is the Tánaiste going to give that commitment to section 39 workers-----

-----or will he show the contempt, the arrogance-----

-----and the sleveen politics that were on display last night at the Dáil reform committee.

Section 39 workers.

The point is that people who are part of the Government will never really ask the hard questions and call the Government out.

Noel, the section 39 worker I was talking to, said the Tánaiste was going to mention the WRC. He said the workers had been to the WRC and sometimes the Government does not even bother to turn up. He said it is a stalling tactic. He guaranteed that Simon Harris would say "WRC". The workers do not want the WRC; they want a commitment to pay restoration. Give the commitment to pay parity so we do not…

-----because the Government does not care about the service users and the section 39 workers who are looking after the most vulnerable in our society.

Give a commitment. Stop talking out of both sides of your mouth.

You are not hearing.

I am listening.

It is the Government that decides.
