IRISH MEPS HAVE been asked by the Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney to delay tabling a resolution condemning the detainment of Dublin businessman Richard O’Halloran in China.
MEPs Barry Andrews and Sean Kelly, who have coordinated their approach on O’Halloran’s case, were asked by Coveney to hold off on bringing the motion to the March plenary session of the European Parliament as “extensive engagement at senior political and diplomatic level” continues with Chinese authorities.

Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou leaves the British Columbia Supreme Court with her security team, in Vancouver, Canada, on Tuesday. A Canadian police officer refused to testify at Meng s latest extradition hearing, which sparked more suspicions, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Wednesday noted the essence of the case became much clearer politics. Taking people from their families and using them as bargaining chips is both illegal and immoral.
This is more than true. But it is just ridiculous to hear it from the mouth of Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau. As the country that is responsible for the shocking illegal detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, Canada launched on Monday the so-called Declaration Against Arbitrary Detention in State-to-State Relations. With the 58-nation initiative, Ottawa has shocked the world, again, by showing how shameless it could be.
