Community Directorate

That this Council, in light of the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian people, recognises (1) that Veolia is a leading partner in the consortium contracted to build a light railway system linking Israel to illegal settlements in occupied East Jerusalem, (2) that the Irish government and the U.N does not recognise Israel’s annexation and occupation of East Jerusalem and have repeatedly stated their views that the Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank contravene international law and (3) that Veolia’s involvement in the project is in contravention of the UN’s stated demand that Israeli settlement activities and occupation should not be supported, and calls on the County Manager not to sign any new or renew any existing contracts with Veolia.

That this Council Condemns the Israeli attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla’s aid mission that resulted in deaths and injuries of those attempting to bring much needed aid to the besieged city of Gaza, which has been subject to an illegal Israeli blockade.

Commends those Irish citizens who participated in this humanitarian mission to bring 10,000 tones of aid to the people of Gaza.

Recognizing that this attack is an affront to international law and has endangered the lives of Irish citizens, calls on the Irish Government to expel the Israeli  Ambassador, use it’s influence to discontinue the EU’s preferential trade agreement with Israel and Support and seek the backing of other countries for a new international aid mission to Gaza which will ensure that necessary vital supplies reach the suffering people of that besieged area.

Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor G. Kenny
Responsibility:
Community Directorate

This Council condemns the government for the drastic consequences which the cuts in local authority funding are having on the provision of services at council level. These cuts will impact most on the most disadvantaged areas and on the most vulnerable within them. 
This government is responsible for the greatest economic and financial crises in the history of the state. The current economic crisis is the result of years of neo-liberal economic policies that have favoured the interests of big business and profit over the needs of people and the environment. The greed and corruption of the ruling elite now threaten our country with catastrophe and this Council records a vote of no confidence in the Fianna Fail/Green Party government.
