Ms Niamh Ní Bhriain:

We cannot compare with Gaza, which is a strip of land the size of half of County Louth. It is being occupied by the strongest military force in the world, backed up by the US, the European Union and Britain. We cannot compare Gaza, which conflict is about an occupied people in a tiny strip of land, with the entirety of the European Union, which has one of the strongest military forces in the world. I am sorry, but the comparison does not line up.
