Palestine mission to Ireland welcomes parliament’s motion on Israel’s ‘de facto annexation’
DUBLIN, Thursday, May 27, 2021 (WAFA) - The Mission of the State of Palestine in Ireland welcomed in a statement the move by Oireachtas members - the Irish parliament - to unanimously vote in favor of the motion moved by Sinn Féin which recognized that the illegal settlement expansions constitute de facto annexation of occupied Palestinian territory.
“This landmark decision represents the first time that an EU country has broken the consensus and truthfully called out the occupation of Palestinian territory. It was a just and ethical decision by the representatives of the people of Ireland,” said the statement.
The number of students without school places in the Greystones area is substantially higher than principal of Greystones Community College Ruairí Farrell had anticipated or calculated , he said.
However, the principal has confidence that the estimated 170 to 190 local children currently without secondary school places can be accommodated in the area as the department liaises with all schools to increase capacity. Greystones Community College is willing to increase its enrolment subject to the provision of satisfactory accommodation by the Department of Education to cater for the increased demand at the school, said Mr Farrell.
Wicklow County Council has granted permission to the Department of Education to build six prefab secondary school classrooms at Greystones Rugby Club. The intention is that the classrooms be used by Greystones Community College as they await their permanent building. The school is currently located at Greystones Tennis Club.
