I have three remaining questioners with 30 seconds each after which I will go to the Taoiseach if that is okay. I call Deputy Costello.

President von der Leyen has shown that her support for international law is less about the rule of law and more about whether she supports the victims or not. Uachtarán na hÉireann has been very strong on this in saying she does not speak for Ireland. Does the Taoiseach agree with the President? Will he raise at the extraordinary European Council meeting with President von der Leyen her blindness to the rights in international law of the Palestinians in Gaza?

I thank the Deputy. Deputy Danny Healy-Rae has 30 seconds.

Among other embargoes, Mr. Bernard Gloster is saying there will be an embargo on home help workers. We already have a shortage of home help workers in County Kerry. Many people qualify and get approved for home help, but the home help never arrives for whatever reason. We have a real shortage already.

The other point I wish to make concerns an 86-year-old woman who was not approved the other day for the fair deal scheme. She was told she was fit enough to live in her own home. She cannot get home help.

I thank the Deputy.

She is in and out of the hospital every second day-----

Alright, Deputy, the time is up.

And they will not approve her for the fair deal.

I suggest that the Deputy table a parliamentary question on that.
