Galway West TD Catherine Connolly has challenged the Taoiseach on what steps the Government is taking to make our recognition of Palestine "actually mean something".
Ireland officially recognised the state last month, alongside Norway and Spain - which sparked fierce criticism from Israel.

She also argued that to give substance to the recognition of Palestine, we also must stop the export of dual-use goods, which have increased dramatically.
