Families of children medically evacuated from Gaza can also travel to Ireland 

Last week in the Dáil, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the "indiscriminate killing of children" in Gaza was one of the "appalling aspects of Israel's war on Gaza". Picture: Sasko Lazarov/RollingNews.ie

The families of children being medevaced from Gaza to Ireland will be able to travel with them, the Government has agreed.

Last week it was reported that the transport of at least 18 children previously authorised to come to Ireland had been delayed by reported visa issues, though the Government insisted there is no delay. There was, however, a question around who could travel with the children.
