‹ Order of Business Death of Palestinian ambassador
Summary
Senator Leyden records condolences on the death of former Palestinian ambassador Dr Ali Ahmed Halimeh and recalls his contribution to Irish-Palestinian relations.
On behalf of the House I note that the former ambassador to Ireland of the Palestinian state, Dr. Ali Ahmed Halimeh, died on 16 September 2012. He was an excellent ambassador to this country, serving from 2001 to 2005. With his support I established the Friends of Palestine group in the Oireachtas. He served his country well and was also an ambassador to South Africa following his time in Ireland. We should extend our sympathies to his wife Imman, his daughter Noura and his son Ahmed.
Comment on this
Yes, but it is an important matter. I appreciate the Leas-Chathaoirleach's indulgence.
