The primary focus of our work is to influence Irish Government and where appropriate, European Union foreign policy in support of the national, democratic and human rights of the Palestinian people. Some of this work involves direct lobbying and advocacy work with TDs (members of the Dáil/Irish Parliament), senators and MEPs to encourage them to adopt pro-Palestinian positions on an individual and political party basis; this work is supported by hosting visiting speakers. Experts in their respective fields, these speakers brief our representatives on the current situation in Palestine and the appropriate action required by the international community.
