Recognition of Palestine

Summary

Brendan Smith asks for Government time to debate recognition of Palestine following a Seanad motion; the Tánaiste refers him to the Whips’ meeting.

As the Tánaiste is probably aware, Seanad Éireann passed a motion yesterday calling on the Government to recognise the state of Palestine.

Comment on this

The motion was proposed by Fianna Fáil Senator Averil Power and agreed by the Seanad without a vote. Could the Tánaiste commit that Government time will be allocated in the next sitting week to enable Dáil Éireann to discuss a similar motion?

Comment on this

Hear, hear. Well done.

The allocation of time is obviously a matter for the Whips. I suggest that the Deputy discuss it at the next Whip's meeting.
