SATURDAY last saw another gathering of people in the Square to protest against the violence in Gaza following a fresh wave of bombings at the weekend.

About 100 or so took part in the Sinn Fein-organised demonstration which marched through the town.  

“We’ll be out here as long as we have to put pressure on our international leaders to do something about the genocide that is happening in Gaza,” said Cllr Toireasa Ferris.

“The Irish government has been a disgrace, more so Labour as part of that government, who have been verbally supportive of the Palestine people down the years, but in practical terms have done nothing,” said TD Martin Ferris.      

“The response from Tralee people has been fantastic,” said Dr Rizwan Khan of the Kerry Islamic Outreach Society. “Not just with what is happening in Gaza, but also with the response we have got since we opened our doors last year, we can not be more appreciative.”
