Summer camp exchange in Jordan at the Palestinian GAA.

Malairt campa samhraidh san Iordáin ag CLG na Palaistíne.

Young people from the Palestine Gaelic Athletic Association in the West Bank are taking part in a summer camp in Jordan as compensation for their summer trip to Ireland.

Tá daoine óga ó Chumann Lúthchleas Gael na Palaistíne sa Bhruach Thiar ag glacadh páirte i gcampa samhraidh san Iordáin mar chúiteamh áirithe ar an turas samhraidh a bhí siad le déanamh ar Éirinn.

33 children and 14 mentors from the Palestinian GAA were due to tour Ireland for the next ten days but the trip had to be cancelled because the Department of Justice refused to grant them visas.

Bhí 33 páiste agus 14 meantóir ó CLG na Palaistíne le camchuairt na hÉireann a dhéanamh as seo go ceann deich lá ach b’éigean an turas a chur ar ceal mar gur dhiúltaigh an Roinn Dlí agus Cirt víosaí a lamháil dóibh.

The Department said the Palestinians had not provided necessary documents.

Dúirt an Roinn nach raibh cáipéisí riachtanacha curtha ar fáil ag na Palaistínigh.

An appeal was made but it was too close to the standard day.

Rinneadh achomharc ach bhí sé róghar do lá an chaighdeáin.

In a statement, the association said that heartbreak had been turned into joy and that they had put the best face on a bad market.

I ráiteas, dúirt an cumann go raibh ardú croí déanta den bhriseadh croí agus go raibh an chuma is fearr curtha ar an drochmhargadh acu.

The children were said to be looking forward to the summer camp in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

Dúradh go raibh na páistí ag tnúth go mór leis an gcampa samhraidh i bpríomhchathair na hIordáine, Amman.

Two senior Dublin goalkeepers, Conor Donohue and Fergal Whitely, are involved in the summer camp and all participants will come together to watch the All- Ireland Final on a big screen in Amman this Sunday.

Beirt bháireoirí le foireann sinsir Bhaile Átha Cliath, Conor Donohue and Fergal Whitely, tá siad bainteach leis an gcampa samhraidh agus tiocfadh na rannpháirtithe ar fad le chéile le breathnú ar Chluiche Ceannais na hÉireann ar scáileán mór in Amman an Domhnach beag seo.
