Tánaiste Micheál Martin says that there is a “disconnect” between how Ireland’s response to the ongoing war in Gaza is seen by the opposition and internationally.

Speaking in the Dáil this evening, Mr Martin said that he is “puzzled” by the reaction of opposition TDs to Ireland’s response to attacks in Gaza, when Palestinian officials are welcoming the Government’s support.
