Máire Devine (SF), Dublin South-Central

Thirty-three children in the GAA Palestine club were due to travel. I know the Tánaiste is very aware of the issue as a lot of my colleagues have raised it. Seven days prior to travel, they were told they need to provide more information and it has been quite devastating and upsetting for the coaches, for the hosts, for both Deputy Ó Snodaigh and me and for the Good Counsel club in Drimnagh, which is hosting them. I have sent all the relevant information to the Tánaiste and the Minister, Deputy O'Callaghan. There is a very regrettable mix-up and we will just leave it there for now. My ask today is that the Tánaiste and the Minister, Deputy O'Callaghan, meet the GAA organisers and support them in resolving this as soon as possible. Please let them play.
