I strongly condemn the reckless strike on a UNIFIL base in southern Lebanon that has left a number of Ghanaian peacekeepers seriously injured.
The role of peacekeepers is sacrosanct, and all should go above and beyond to prevent them from coming into harm’s way.
I would like to pay tribute to the courage, resilience, and professionalism of the Irish peacekeepers who came to the aid of their Ghanaian colleagues today.
I have been briefed on the latest situation, and all Irish personnel serving in Lebanon remain safe and accounted for.
