Recent UNIFIL friendly-fire incident

Summary

The Minister confirmed that two Irish personnel were injured when one section fired on another, but said the incident was not significant and the injuries were not severe.

Is the Minister aware that a short time ago in the Lebanon two members of our forces were injured as a result of one section firing on another? Can the Minister tell us anything about that incident?
