I, too, raise the Global Sumud Flotilla because to be quite honest, the Minister's answers so far have been weak and inadequate. The flotilla was attacked in European waters last night. It is a humanitarian fleet of over 500 civillians, among them our colleague and my friend Deputy Chris Andrews, my friend and comrade Tadgh Hickey, and 20 more brave Irish citizens, who are doing the work that the world's governments should be doing by trying to deliver humanitarian aid to our brothers and sisters in Palestine. This is psychological warfare and distraction because the terror state of Israel knows it will get away with it. This is just the beginning. What usually happens when our flotillas are attacked is that the destruction and slaughter in Gaza and the West Bank increases. I do not want more words of condemnation or concern. We need action. Our Government needs to act now. What is it going to do?
