Palestinian flag raised at Liberty Hall

The flags of Palestine, Ireland and the United Nations flew outside Liberty Hall in Dublin on the weekend of the 27th-29th November to mark UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

The flags were raised during a short ceremony, at lunchtime on 27th November, attended by the Palestinian Ambassador to Ireland, Ahmad Abdelrazek, and SIPTU General President, Jack O’Connor.

“For almost five decades Palestinians have endured oppression and occupation of their land. They feel deep frustration that the possibility of peace and the establishment of a viable independent Palestinian State is vanishing. There remains an urgent need for meaningful negotiations which can guarantee that Palestinians and Israelis can co-exist in peace,” Jack O’Connor said.

The UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is commemorated on Sunday, 29th November. Next year, SIPTU will be undertaking a major campaign calling for the liberation of the Palestinian people and to make 2016 the year for the creation of a viable Palestinian State.
