Barry Ward: .... However, the question has not been answered. What are we going to do about the fact that Irish taxpayers' money to the tune of €36 million this year, more than I even realised, has been destroyed and wasted by the Israel Defense Forces and their illegal actions in Gaza.

I do not want to use the word "damaging" again, but they are so appalling because they attack a person in the place where they should be safest - in their relationship and in their home and they destroy that, as well as the other knock-on consequences that we know happened in the case of the death of Jennifer Poole.
