Tairiscint (atógáil) (1 ur. 30 n. fágtha):

Motion (resumed) (1hr. 30 m. remaining):

 

30. "That Dáil Éireann:

 

— conscious of the growing concern regarding the humanitarian crisis that is evolving in Iraq and in light of the fact that aid agencies believe that:

— there will be an increase in acute malnutrition in children under five years of age from four to 30 per cent as a result of critical food shortages and an increase in morbidity rates in children, particularly diarrhoeal disease, from the consumption of contaminated water;

— there are more than one million malnourished children in Iraq who, upon commencement of the military action, have been unable to receive much of the humanitarian aid they had previously been availing of;

— the risk of a measles outbreak among displaced populations is significant and there is an urgent need to immunise children aged six to 12 who may not have received immunisation against the disease, as children aged five and younger have, and who cannot access such immunisation in the present circumstances;

— 60 per cent of Iraqi people are dependent on Government food subsidies;

— the long-term effects on the pyschosocial health of Iraqi children are likely to be a major problem in the aftermath of war;

— there is likely to be shortages of essential drugs, especially antibiotics as rates of diarrhoeal disease and acute respiratory infections will increase significantly due to population displacements, contaminated water and shortages of heating fuels;

— as many as five per cent of children from displaced or refugee populations might be separated from their families; and

— upon an end to the conflict, it is possible that schools will have been looted, will be bereft of materials and will suffer a teacher shortage due to unsafe conditions;

— calls on the Government to play a full role in the international relief effort in Iraq in order to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe;

— calls on the Government to work to ensure that the United Nations plays the lead co-ordinating role in the humanitarian relief effort;

— calls on the Government to vigorously pursue a commitment from our partners in the European Union and the United Nations, to provide the necessary funding to ensure the alleviation of hunger and disease amongst the Iraqi population; and

— calls on the Government to work to ensure that such funding should not come from existing monies already allocated to help in the humanitarian needs of other regions." — Gay Mitchell, Enda Kenny, Richard Bruton, Bernard Allen, Pat Breen, John Bruton, Paul Connaughton, Simon Coveney, Seymour Crawford, John Deasy, Jimmy Deenihan, Bernard J. Durkan, Damien English, Olwyn Enright, Tom Hayes, Phil Hogan, Paul Kehoe, Padraic McCormack, Dinny McGinley, Paul McGrath, Olivia Mitchell, Gerard Murphy, Denis Naughten, Dan Neville, Michael Noonan, Fergus O’Dowd, Jim O’Keeffe, John Perry, Michael Ring, David Stanton, Billy Timmins.

 

[1 April, 2003]

 

 

48a. "That Dáil Éireann,

 

condemns:

 

— the illegal and criminal invasion of Iraq by United States and British forces;

— the slaughter of large numbers of men, women and children in the US/British bombardment of cities and towns;

— the slaughter of large numbers of Iraqi conscripts by the massively more heavily armed forces of invasion and also the needless deaths of ordinary US and British soldiers;

declares:

 

— that the invasion is an imperialist venture to secure Iraqi oil fields and extend its control over the Middle East Region;

— that those who initiated this war bear full criminal responsibility for the consequent deaths and destruction;

notes that the US has announced that 120,000 more troops are to be sent to join the invasion;

 

demands that none of these troops be allowed facilities at Shannon Airport or at any other location in this State;

 

further demands that the Minister for Foreign Affairs summons the senior US envoy to Ireland and the British Ambassador to lodge a forceful protest over the killing of Iraqi civilians; and

 

calls for the future of the peoples and resources of Iraq and the Middle East generally to be determined by the people there, based on the principles of freedom, justice, democracy and human rights free from both local dictatorships and imperialist and corporate interference." — Joe Higgins, Tony Gregory, Paudge Connolly, Jerry Cowley, Seamus Healy, Finian McGrath, Liam Twomey.
