Graham Clifford: Ireland must act at home to back up our big words on Afghanistan at UN

"More people live on Cape Clear and Sherkin Island than the amount of Afghan refugees we’ve committed to accepting."

Zaki from Afghanistan and Graham Clifford's two year old son, Cillian. 

As soon as we’d reach Ballincollig Regional Park on a Saturday morning my little lad would immediately scan the parkrun hoards looking for his mate – Zaki from Afghanistan.

Cillian would leap out of my arms into Zaki’s and the two lads would laugh and smile like long lost friends.
