The question is that the arrangements for this week's business-----

Can we have an answer from the Government on whether it is going to allow for a debate on genocide? I mean, seriously, the Minister did not even answer. Is the Government going to give us a debate on a genocide that is happening and the ICJ case? It is shameful if it does not.

Deputy, I will give the Minister an opportunity to answer if she wants. The simple fact of the matter is that I do not think there is a single Member in this House who is not sickened by what they see happening in Gaza-----

Hear, hear.

-----and what we saw happen in Israel on 7 October.

Hear, hear.

We were shocked and appalled by all of it but I do not know what is being achieved by shouting in here and jumping up and down-----

Maybe we could do what South Africa did.

-----or by a debate. Minister, over to you.

Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle. I absolutely agree with what you just said. The Deputies have Leaders' Questions as an opportunity to raise this. They have another opportunity through oral parliamentary questions, they have written parliamentary questions-----

It is a genocide.

Let me finish. They have their own Private Members' time. Why are they not using that?

We do not have it for weeks.

The Deputies have had loads of opportunity. They would rather get up there-----

We used it in November and the Government voted it down.

We used it to debate the genocide convention.

Deputy Boyd Barrett asked the Minister a question. Would the Deputies do her the courtesy of listening without shouting and interrupting her again? What gallery are they playing to?

She is misleading the Dáil.

What gallery are you playing to, Deputies?

We used our Private Members' time.

What gallery are you playing to? If you ask the Minister a question, have the good manners and courtesy to allow her to respond without interruption.

An answer would be great.

Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle. The Deputies have an opportunity on Topical Issue debates. There are loads of opportunities.

So it is a "No".

They do not have to stand up there are and create a big fuss so that they get attention. They will run it off on social media and there will be big song and dance. I know what they do all the time. This is all about themselves.

It is a genocide.

It is not about the people that we are watching on the television. What we are seeing is terrible.

Then do something about it.

We are all aware of what is happening to children, mothers and fathers. I can assure the Deputies that we are doing everything we can as a Government.

No, you are not. You are doing nothing.

Yes, we are. As I said, the Whip will speak at the Business Committee and the matter can be decide there.
