We are now four months on from the general election and we have only ten more sitting days until the Easter recess. The legislative priority of the Government so far was to get more money for junior Ministers. We have no committees established. The Government has sat on that matter. It has proven itself to be truly a do-nothing Government. The Dáil is effectively in cold storage. The Government priority is to placate Michael Lowry and his underlings with the pretence and fiction that they can carry out Opposition functions in the Dáil.

I ask that the Government desists from this course of action, respects the role we have, as the Opposition, allows us to get on with our work and, dare I suggest it, you get on with yours.

I am happy to clarify that in fact I called the Deputies underlings and not lackies, just for the record.

For the avoidance of doubt, they are in fact underlings and not lackies. I am happy to clarify that.

Israel has resumed its genocidal war on the people of Gaza. Some 970 deaths over the past 48 hours have been reported by health authorities, the majority children, women and the elderly. Those who have died have died hungry. The attack follows Israel's total blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and doctors watch people die before their eyes. This is the horrific result of the impunity handed to Israel. Netanyahu has shattered the ceasefire because he knew he could without consequence. These airstrikes have been launched with the support of the United States and only days after the Taoiseach met President Trump in the Oval Office. The Taoiseach had the opportunity to respectfully challenge President Trump on the US getting it so catastrophically wrong in Gaza and on backing Israel's war machine to the hilt, but it was an opportunity the Taoiseach did not take. Now the people of Gaza are slaughtered once again. How is it that the Taoiseach has briefed that the Government is walking away from the occupied territories Bill? Will he now say what he should have said in the Oval Office and set out our abhorrence of events again in Gaza and the US continuing to fund that slaughter?
