The Irish public appear to not be overly happy with the government’s response to the conflict in the Ukraine. It appears as though Micheal Martin, Leo Varadkar and Eamon Ryan are completely out of touch with the reality that the Irish public are living in.
It appears as though the government have no idea about the homeless problem in Ireland along with the out-of-control housing crisis that faces everyone from the age of 21 upwards.
Micheal Martin said that Ireland is giving €20 million towards international agencies that will be on the ground in the Ukraine and has vowed “to do more”.
Speaking in the Dail, Martin said: “Russia will have to live with the shame of what they have done in Ukraine for generations. Those responsible will be held to account.
“We are with Ukraine and I am certain that, in the end, Ukraine will prevail.
Martin says that Ireland has committed €20m in direct humanitarian funding, delivered through proven international agencies active on the ground. He said that we will do more too.
“We are a militarily neutral country. However, we are not politically neutral in the face of war crimes. Quite the opposite.
“Our position is informed by the principles that drive our foreign policy – support for international human rights, for humanitarian law and for a rules-based international order. We are not neutral when Russia disregards all of these principles. We are with Ukraine.
“As well as financial support, through a collaborative effort we are in the process of delivering medical equipment including ambulances, ultrasound machines, mobile x-ray machines, ventilators and incubators,” he said.
“Ireland has contributed our full share to the European Peace Facility’s €1bn assist package to Ukraine,” he added.
