In spite of E.U. sanctions against Russia for their role in destabilising Ukraine and annexing parts of the country, on December 7th, 2015, a 16-strong trade delegation led by Minister of State Sean Sherlock under the auspices of the Joint Economic Commission – Russia/Ireland, went to Moscow "to build on our existing excellent relationships"(1). Meanwhile Russia is bombing and killing hundreds of innocent civilians in Syria. According to the respected Syria Network for Human Rights, Russian airstrikes since September 30th until December 1st, 2015, have targeted markets, mosques, bakeries, killing 583 individuals - 570 of whom were civilians, including 152 children and 60 women. A recent report from Human Rights Watch also highlighted Russian extensive use of cluster bombs (2). The Convention on Cluster Munitions which banned their use under any circumstances, was actually adopted in Dublin on 30th May 2008. Their use also violates United Nations Resolution 2139 which demanded that all parties involved in Syria end “indiscriminate employment of weapons in populated areas" (3). Russia also vetoed a UN Security Council resolution to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court (4). The Amnesty International report of December 23rd, 2015, in effect corroborates and elaborates on the substance of these earlier (SNR, HRW) reports in laying out egregious violations of human rights and international law perpetrated by the Russian military.

Following Donald's Trump's anti-immigrant position, we, as a nation of emmigrants, cannot allow such ignorant and hateful actions which inspire fear and hatred as well as justified anger. We are part of EU and we are on the front-lines at the moment. We must welcome ALL people no matter their religion/beliefs as long as they are not out to harm others or incite hate. I am starting this campaign because Donald Trump is an inciter of hate and fear and should not be allowed a stage to cause further divisiveness among peoples of the world. Therefore, I am asking you to sign this petition to ban Donald Trump from being allowed to visit The Republic of Ireland for any reason.

Dalya Alnajjar has recently been granted refugee status in Ireland after seeking asylum in Ireland over a year ago. Since she arrived she has become a valued, integral and much-loved member of the community in Cahersiveen. Her family who are still in Gaza are homeless and suffering desperately as a result of Israel’s continuing human rights violations. She has already submitted an application for family reunification, and she has supplied the minister’s office with details about her family – including copies of their UNWRA registration cards. Since October 2023, Dalya has begun each day by checking casualty lists, fearing for her family's lives. She and her family have already incurred tremendous losses. Her home has been deliberately bombed and completely razed. Thirteen of her cousins were killed in a massacre in her neighbourhood. Her cousin Razan—a pioneering paramedic—was killed for her humanitarian work. This is not abstract policy; this is life and death, unfolding now.  Under EU Case C-563/22, Dalya's family are entitled to refugee recognition. UNRWA has ceased operations in Gaza, leaving them without protection.  Other EU states have taken action on humanitarian grounds. Ireland can do so as well. We call on the Minister for Justice to: 1. Accept UNRWA registration as sufficient proof of refugee status for family reunification purposes 2. Exercise discretionary provisions under Section 60 of the International Protection Act 2015 3. Consider a special humanitarian admission for Dalya's family, as precedent allows. As of today 16/11/2025 the Alnajjar family are being displaced for the umpteenth time due to being flooded out of the tent they have been living in. Their situation is more dire than ever. They need to be brought to the safety of Dalya’s new community where they will be looked after by her with the support of those who have signed below.  We sign because Dalya’s family's lives depend on our willingness to act with courage and compassion. We sign because this is what humanity requires. We sign because we are committed to supporting Dalya and her family should you allow them to be reunited here in Ireland.
