Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Engagement with UNRWA Deputy Director John Whyte

2:00 am

Mr. John Whyte:

It is impossible. We are all outside and we will not be allowed to return. We are not the only agency, by the way. Other agencies have also had staff denied entry. International NGOs have had their registration revoked.

Reregistration is linked to providing names of staff and a lot of it is linked to intelligence. A lot of agencies are just very reluctant to go down that road.
