I welcome the joint motion that will be dealt with later today. However, hundreds of human rights activists, including 22 Irish citizens, one of whom, Senator Chris Andrews, is a Member of the Houses, are heading to Gaza right now. There is every possibility of intervention from the Israeli State. This has concerned many Governments, which have sent their naval vessels to the area.

Deputy, is this dissent?

My point is we need to be able to respond-----

I appreciate that.

The Oireachtas needs to be able to respond flexibly to the emerging situation. All I am asking is that we can respond flexibly.

Thank you, we have the motion.

Yes, the motion is tonight but we have a situation to which we need to be able to respond flexibly and that is all I ask for.

Deputy, are you dissenting to the Order of Business?

I am just asking for this.

You are not dissenting. Is that correct?

Can we get this question answered?

No, Deputy.

Deputy Mac Lochlainn is asking for clarification.

I understand.
