Company’s role in wall project challenged

AS one of those who protested outside Cement Roadstone Holdings (CRH) annual general meeting in Dun Laoghaire, I wish to comment on Brian O’Mahony’s report (May 6).

The wall that Israel is building within the occupied Palestinian West Bank is not “450km long”, but closer to 700km.

In justifying CRH’s involvement in providing cement for this construction, CRH chairman Kieran McGowan and CEO Myles Lee are being cynical in pointing out that the multinational also sells to the Palestinian Authority.
