Deputy Neasa Hourigan, DEPUTY BRIAN STANLEY IN THE CHAIR. 1 PAC Mr. Seamus McCarthy (An tArd Reachtaire Cuntas agus Ciste) called and examined. Business of Committee Chairman: Apologies have been received from Deputy Catherine Murphy. We are joined remotely by the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, as a permanent wit- ness. I welcome everyone online to the meeting. Due to the current situation with Covid-19 only the clerk, the support staff and I are in the committee room. Members are attending re- motely from within the precincts of Leinster House. This is due to the constitutional require- ment that in order to participate in public meetings members must be physically present within the confines of the place the Parliament has chosen to sit, namely, Leinster House or the conven- tion centre. I will ask members to confirm their location before contributing to ensure they are adhering to this constitutional requirement. I ask those in attendance to mute themselves when not contributing so we do not pick up background noise or feedback. I also ask them to use the “raise hand” feature when they wish to contribute and cancel it when they have finished. As usual, I ask people to keep mobile phones on silent or switched off.

  • Lettre Conjointe De 1.080 Parlementaires De 25 Pays Européens Aux Gouvernements Et Dirigeants Européens Contre L'annexion De La Cisjordanie Par Israël
    Lettre conjointe de 1.080 parlementaires de 25 pays européens aux gouvernements et dirigeants européens contre l'annexion de la Cisjordanie par Israël 23 juin 2020 Nous, parlementaires de toute l'Europe engagés en faveur d'un ordre mondial fonde ́ sur le droit international, partageons de vives inquietudeś concernant le plan du president́ Trump pour le conflit israeló -palestinien et la perspective d'une annexion israélienne du territoire de la Cisjordanie. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par le preć edent́ que cela creerait́ pour les relations internationales en geń eral.́ Depuis des decennies,́ l'Europe promeut une solution juste au conflit israeló -palestinien sous la forme d'une solution a ̀ deux Etats,́ conformement́ au droit international et aux resolutionś pertinentes du Conseil de securit́ e ́ des Nations unies. Malheureusement, le plan du president́ Trump s'ecarté des parametres̀ et des principes convenus au niveau international. Il favorise un controlê israelień permanent sur un territoire palestinien fragmente,́ laissant les Palestiniens sans souverainete ́ et donnant feu vert a ̀ Israel̈ pour annexer unilateralement́ des parties importantes de la Cisjordanie. Suivant la voie du plan Trump, la coalition israelienné recemment́ composeé stipule que le gouvernement peut aller de l'avant avec l'annexion des̀ le 1er juillet 2020. Cette decisioń sera fatale aux perspectives de paix israeló -palestinienne et remettra en question les normes les plus fondamentales qui guident les relations internationales, y compris la Charte des Nations unies. Nous sommes profondement́ preoccuṕ eś par l'impact de l'annexion sur la vie des Israelienś et des Palestiniens ainsi que par son potentiel destabilisateuŕ dans la regioń aux portes de notre continent.

Senator Higgins is substituting today for Senator Ruane, and we have no apologies. Before we begin, I request that members sit only in the permitted seats and in front of avail- able microphones to ensure they are heard. This is important as not doing so causes serious problems for broadcast, editorial and sound staff. I remind those present to please maintain so- cial distancing at all times during and following the meeting. I ask those members participating remotely to keep their devices on mute until they are invited to speak. When speaking, I ask that cameras be switched on where possible and for members to be mindful that we are now in public session. In addition, I remind members of the constitutional requirements regarding the necessity for members to be physically present within the confines of the place where Parliament has chosen to sit, namely, Leinster House, in order to participate in public meetings.

    Oireachtas COVID-19 Queries for answer by 17 April 2020 Question To ask the Minister for Health to clarify the locations of the Direct Provision Centres which have confirmed clusters of Covid-19; and if he will make a statement on the matter. --Catherine Connolly TD To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of persons who have contracted Covid-19 while resident in Direct Provision; the actions he is taking to ameliorate this to protect the health and well being of those within the Direct Provision and if he will make a statement on the matter. --Carol Nolan TD Answer Minister of State Stanton: I propose to answer these questions together. As the Deputy will appreciate, as well as the obligation not to identify applicants for international protection under Section 26 of the International Protection Act 2015, planning for the management of the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic is being led by the HSE and the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET). The identification of and reporting on any clusters, outbreaks or confirmed cases of Covid-19 is a matter for NPHET and the Health Protection Surveillance Centre. The NPHET's policy is to maintain patient confidentiality at all times. It is also the policy of my Department that we maintain the confidentiality of International Protection applicants at all times and therefore we do not comment on any individuals who avail of our services. As the Deputy will appreciate, international protection applicants have the same right to privacy and medical confidentiality as everyone else.
