207. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade whether Ireland's 1980 position endorsing Palestinian statehood, and resolving not to make comment "good bad or indifferent" as to the political beliefs of organisations that are "in a position to negotiate on behalf of the Palestinian people," still applies (details supplied); in particular noting that the relevant beliefs included support for the military destruction of Israel; or whether Ireland's 2024 recognition of Palestinian statehood downgrades the standing of a prospective Palestinian state and introduces a role for the Irish Government, or other non-Palestinian Governments, in determining an appropriate government for the Palestinian people, in light of recent comments from the Taoiseach indicating that an organisation could have no role in the future of a Palestinian state, whatever the views of the Palestinian people themselves; and that this was on grounds that the organisation calls for the military destruction of Israel, and that Ireland has resolved that said organisation offers no future to the Palestinian people.
