I return to the really serious and worrying situation in Lebanon. I welcome the Tánaiste's statement that all the Irish troops are safe. It is a big relief for everyone to hear that. However, it is absolutely despicable that Israel is firing on peacekeepers. It is clear that it is not respecting UNIFIL's mandate. Will the Tánaiste tell me what the Government is going to do to ensure the safety of our peacekeepers? Is the Government finally going to impose sanctions on Israel, whether economic, diplomatic or travel sanctions? We have heard an awful lot of talk about and condemnation of what Israel is doing but when is the Government going to take tangible action and impose sanctions on Israel so that it does not continue this kind of unacceptable behaviour, which is completely against its international obligations?

In the first instance, we need a full and comprehensive report regarding the reports we heard when coming into the Chamber. I do not have a comprehensive report on what transpired in respect of UNIFIL positions in Lebanon prior to us coming in here. It would be wise to wait for a comprehensive account and report of the situation. Suffice it to say, a ceasefire should be immediately agreed between Hezbollah and Israel and the bombardment of densely populated areas of Lebanon should stop forthwith. Too many innocent people have been killed. A million people have been displaced. It is almost like a second Gaza in Lebanon. It is reprehensible. Ireland has taken action. We have raised this at the level of the European Union with particular regard to the ICJ and so forth.
