Urgent: Department of Justice Must Allow Visas for GAA Palestine Ireland Tour.

Why is this important?

33 children are ready to take part in the trip of a lifetime.
Clubs and families across the island are ready to welcome them. 
GAA Palestine have been organising this trip for months.
The only thing standing in their way is the Irish government who have refused their visas at the last minute.
 
GAA Palestine demands immediate action from the Department of Justice to allow these children to come and visit Ireland.

Plans were in place with over 150 Irish families who would host the children, bring them to matches and show them the beach for the first time in their lives.

GAA Palestine is a symbol of hope for children who've been denied a proper childhood.

LET THEM PLAY!
