Irish parliament discusses Middle East conflict

Recalling the Seanad to discuss the crisis in Gaza?

Looking at such an event from outside Ireland it sounds odd. Certainly it makes sense that the Irish parliament discuss world issues. But recalling the Seanad to talk about issues over which it has no control, seems, to say the least, a little odd.

Why not also discuss the problems in Ukraine, Syria, China, Iraq? Indeed, it would even make more sense to talk about the problem with ebola in Nigeria and Sierra Leone, where a number of Irish people are working.
