The British establishment is complicit in genocide in Gaza. It funds genocide in Gaza. It supports genocide in Gaza. The same British establishment has now charged a young Irishman in his 20s from west Belfast of a terror charge for waving a flag. It is bizarre and it is political policing. It is trying to silence Kneecap. Kneecap are not the story; genocide in Gaza is the story. We need to ensure our Taoiseach and Tánaiste tell the British Government that this is completely unacceptable and that we are not going to take it and roll over like we do on many issues. As has been previously mentioned, I raise the concern about post offices. The post office on St. Andrew's Street, off Grafton Street, was closed on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago because of staff shortages. Rathmines post office is being sold off, which is shocking in and of itself, and is also experiencing serious staff shortages. There is a real need to invest, as the IPU said. There needs to be investment in the postal service or else it will be gone. We have to stop selling off State assets, such as the post office in Rathmines, which is a fantastic centre and facility for Rathmines.
