Palestinian GAA clubs from the West Bank are set to arrive in Ireland next week (18th July) for a tour, with a visit to County Clare as part of the itinerary.

The 47 participants, including 33 children between 9 and 16 years, will travel from Tulkarm, Ramallah, Jenin, Beit Lahm and Al Khalil for a two-week tour to foster friendship, solidarity, cultural understanding and athletic development.

They are expected in Clare towards the end of July.

For more on this Alan Morrissey was joined by Claire Liddy, social care worker.
