In a reply to my party leader during Leaders' Questions on the issue of GAA Palestine, the Taoiseach said he would say no more. We need answers on this, however. This is perplexing for us in opposition too. The necessary documentation was supplied. The appeals mechanism allowed no real mechanism for the trip to go ahead due to the timeframe. The inconsistency-----

That is not true.

-----applied to this by virtue of the nationality of these coaches is concerning. We need the Tánaiste to come in and have a debate on this.

GAA Palestine insists all of the documentation was in order and yet they were denied visas. It has since been dismissed by the Department of justice.

That is not true.

Sorry, Taoiseach, the Chief Whip will have an opportunity to respond.

Any solution through the Department of justice appeal process leaves them too late. The €40,000 they paid for flights will be gone because they had to pay beforehand. We need to discuss this, and the broader issue of visas from Palestine, today.

No appeal has been lodged.

They could not lodge an appeal.

Excuse me, Taoiseach. I call Deputy Paul Murphy.
