As there has unfortunately been inaccurate reporting of todays demonstration at Herzog Park in Dublin below is the statement issued by me in relation to it.
“A representative group of the Irish Jewish community, its friends and supporters today, 19th April 2026, held an unprecedented demonstration at Herzog Park, Rathgar in Dublin.Ireland.
Irish Sport for Palestine ( ISP) for the sixth time took over the artificial playing pitch in the Park for six hours without Council permission, to continue its campaign to dename the Park. We say “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”, “ STOP TARGETING OUR COMMUNITY” and “ SHOW ANTISEMITISM A RED CARD”.
ISP promoted their occupation of the Park as a roll on, roll off “ Community football match”. But it was not about community nor of any relevance to Palestine. This is an authoritarian antisemitic fascist hate group promoting hate in a soft setting. The last occasion it promoted a similar event it did so with an image on social media of park railings with the message ZIONISTS OUT, “ Zionists” being a euphemism for Jews. Today the football pitch was surrounded with Palestinian flags.
There are approximately 500 Parks of varied sizes across Dublin City & County, 300 within the city boundaries at which any community football event could be held. But this hate group is intent on targeting and intimidating our small Jewish community in one of Dublin’s smallest parks at the heart of the community adjacent to the states only Jewish school.
ISP have politicised Irish football as the Footbal Association of Ireland looks the other way, is attempting to sabotage our men’s international football team matches against Israel and has politicised League of Ireland matches. It brainwashes with selective anti Israel narratives impressionable young people involved in the GAA, Irish Basketball & other sports and is empowered now, together with its supporters, to obsessively target both sports and other venues to intimidate and pressurise them to arbitrarily cancel events arranged by members of our community and others with which it disagrees. It has assumed the dictatorial role of stopping any event and the expression of any opinion or narrative it opposes as the government also looks the other way. ISP supporters are also among the many on Irish social media who have turned it into an antisemitic cesspit and lecture Jews on the differences between good and bad Judaism.
We won’t be intimidated out of using Herzog Park. We won’t agree to the cancelling of Irish/ Jewish history and embrace falsity. We won’t surrender to a fascist hate group applying cancel culture and undermining basic freedoms of movement, expression, association and religion. We won’t conform to their diktats of what we should say and think. Today we are taking a stand for our Irish constitution, freedom and decency and demanding that the antisemitic hate and bigotry stop. To ISP we say ‘roll off elsewhere’ and ‘ Leave Herzog Park alone’ ”

@JessLennox80 @paulmurphy_TD To be fair. 4.1bn could be recouped by mot wasting funds in other areas.

@paulmurphy_TD Paul, Gavin Reilly explains it clear as day why the demands can't be met.
Farmers are holding the country too random for unachievable things.

This is extremely concerning:
1. We great package but it won't be unveiled until you stop protesting is as transparent as it is cynical.
2. The package doesn't appear to include any generalised measures to protect ordinary people like price caps.
