First, I also acknowledge Dungannon Swifts, congratulate them on their fantastic victory at the weekend and welcome the great lift that it has given the whole town. As I said last week, it is part of a remarkable treble of cup final appearances by three Dungannon clubs that are right beside each other. Unfortunately, the rugby club did not get over the bar at the weekend, but it was heartening to see its members welcoming home their colleagues in the soccer club. I also wish our ladies' hockey club all the very best in its final, which takes place next weekend. Déanfaimid Lá Domhanda na Croise Deirge agus an Chorráin Dheirg a cheiliúradh ar an tseachtain seo chugainn, agus tá sé tábhachtach aird a tharraingt ar obair na n-oibrithe leighis sin. In áit a bheith ag rith ón bhearna bhaoil, is é rud a ritheann siad isteach inti le beatha daoine a shábháil. Ón chrith talún go dtí an fód cogaidh, ní theipeann ar a dtiomantas. Le bliain anuas, tá beagnach 1,600 ball foirne agus oibrí deonach ó Chumann Idirnáisiúnta Chorrán Dearg na Palaistíne (CICD) ag obair gan sos gan scíth le tarrtháil agus tacaíocht a chur ar fáil in Gaza. Dháil CICD 1.6 milliún de earraí fóirithinte éigeandála, agus chuir siad leigheas éigeandála ar fáil do níos mó ná 100,000 duine. Maraíodh cúig dhuine dhéag nuair a bualadh cúig otharcharr agus inneall dóiteáin, mar aon le feithicil de chuid na Náisiún Aontaithe, "ceann ar cheann" an 23 Márta in al-Hashashin. Chuir CICD i leith Iosrael gur d’aon turas a dhírigh siad ar a bhfoireann. Tá sin ag sárú an dlí idirnáisiúnta. Caithfear Rialtas Iosrael a thabhairt chun cuntais; tá sé dochosanta scaoileadh leo sin a shábhálann beatha daoine. Agus Lá Domhanda na Croise Deirge agus an Chorráin Dheirg á cheiliúradh againn, ba mhaith liom obair na heagraíochta sin a mholadh. Bheir siad dóchas agus coimirce do dhaoine atá faoi léan is faoi thubaiste. Ní mór dúinn aitheantas a thabhairt dá gcuid oibre, ní mór dúinn an ceart a sheasamh dóibh, agus ní mór dúinn cur ina gcoinne siúd a dhéanas iad a ionsaí.
