Buswell’s Hotel, Molesworth Street (off Kildare St.); Wed 29th of June at 7.30pm

A delegation of Irish politicians recently visited Palestine and were horrified at what they saw there. Green Party TD John Gormley declared: “What we witnessed on our trip this weekend is worse than the apartheid regime in South Africa.” Of course they saw little signs of the Israeli “disengagement” we hear so much about in the media.
SPEAKERS:
John Gormley TD (Greens)
Senator Terry Leyden (FF),
Senator John Paul Phelan (FG)
Aengus O Snodaigh TD (SF).
