We have four remaining Deputies and we are out of time. We will take 30-second questions from each.

I am returning to Gaza on which the Ceann Comhairle and Minister have expressed their horror. The Minister has said it is horrible to watch. However, we can do something; that is why the International Court of Justice is there. We can join South Africa and stop playing politics and waiting for the big boys to make the decision. We can act ethically and morally and can support South Africa in the case it has before the court. I am filled with despair, despondency and disgust at the attitude and the behaviour of the Government to date. Once again, I ask that the Government state, or at least go back to the Taoiseach and confirm, that we will support the very strong and courageous stance taken by South Africa.

It is worth this House noting that tomorrow, over 200,000 public sector workers will take strike action in Northern Ireland to secure a pay increase. They have traditionally been very badly paid and so I salute them. We should note this because these workers are in our country. We may not have jurisdiction over them but it is a very important strike. Also important are the pay talks with the public sector that are happening here. I note that the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, has put a colouration on it that the Government made a very generous offer to the public sector. However, when we consider that the rate of inflation was up in December and that over the past year it was at 6.3% while public sector workers got less than 4% of a pay rise, there is a lot of catching up to be done. It behoves the Government to sit down again with the public sector unions and revise the offer-----
