Palestine GAA club 'doing all they can' to make Irish tour happen after visa rejections

Young boys living in Ramallah, the West Bank started training in hurling with the hopes of one day playing the GAA sport here in Ireland this summer.

Leaders of a GAA club in Palestine have said they will do "all they can" to ensure that a tour of Ireland, scheduled for this month, will take place after 47 visas were rejected by Irish officials.

GAA Palestine had hoped to bring the 47 Palestinians to Ireland on July 18 for a tour that included stops in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
