Leo Varadkar accurately accusing Israel of breaking international humanitarian law (Art 33 Geneva Convention) by imposing collective punishment on the people of Gaza. In the rush by other world leaders to green light Israeli genocide, the Taoiseach’s leadership is welcome.

Not a good day for Ireland either, as it turned out. We and the English were all getting along grand until the Normans showed up. I can’t say too much because like quite a number of people on these islands, I too am a descendent of William Duke of Normandy.

In 2010, Areva, the French nuclear power multinational company extracted 114,346 metric tonnes of uranium from Niger with an export value of more than €3.5 billion, of which just around €450 million was paid to Niger. What are your thoughts on this?

Excellent, can France pay fair price to Mongolia? France set the rate at €0.80 per kilogram of uranium in Niger, significantly lower than the global market value, with uranium from other countries, such as Canada, commanding a similar price of €200/kg.
