The topics discussed during the EU leaders' retreat included an arming up of Europe, and also relations with the US. I want the Taoiseach to comment on how he thinks his diplomatic mission went in the US. He said that Donald Trump was in pursuit of peace and then about 48 hours later he colluded with an horrific massacre in Gaza in which 400 people died. The Taoiseach smiled and nodded as Donald Trump said his favourite person from Ireland was Conor McGregor. Lo and behold, on St. Patrick's Day-----

The Taoiseach stayed silent and then joked about his father being a boxer. On St. Patrick's Day, two rapists met each other-----

-----in the White House, two men found guilty by juries to be rapists. We had the sight on St. Patrick's Day of Conor McGregor representing this country's views. It was an insult to the country. Actually, it was an insult to the Government because he slated it. So much for the Taoiseach's diplomatic mission with Trump. It was an insult to women. When you normalise genocide and misogyny, this is what happens.

I actually asked the Taoiseach before he went how he felt about dealing with a sexual predator like Donald Trump and this was the insult he delivered to the Government and to our people on St. Patrick's Day.

The Taoiseach's visit was completely obliterated and overshadowed by the real Donald Trump.
