Sir Keir Starmer has declared that the UK will recognise a state of Palestine in September unless Israel makes peace with Hamas, in a move critics say treats statehood as a "bargaining chip" and "rewards Hamas".

Jump To Comment: 1TaraWatch to join protest at sale of historical artefects
TaraWatch will join with others in protest against the sale of historical artefacts at Adams and Sons Auctioneers, Stephen's Green, on Wednesday 12th April at 11.30 am.
Adams and Sons Auctioneers are selling off a large number of historical artifacts relating to the 1916 rising. These include the orginal of Peader Kearney's Soldier's Song, the tricolour alledged to have flown over the GPO during the rising, and various letters, photos and memorabilia of the leaders. http://www.jamesadam.ie/

The 'Independence' sale is symbolic of the current attitude of this State towards our national heritage. Everything is for sale. Every inch of land, from shore to shore, no matter how consecrated, has a price. Historical sites, graveyards, buildings, artefects, and national symbols of every description are up for auction, to the highest bidder. And the largest seller, rather than purchaser, is the State.
What self-respecting State can spend 9 million euros a day on roads, and not even 1 million for its own family heirlooms? Instead of seeking to link us with our past, there is a sense that we are being separated from it.
With the sale of publicly owed lands bringing in hundreds of millions of euros, perhaps a restriction should be placed on money earned, to ensure that a certain amount is spent preserving and purchasing other sites and objects of undeniable national importance?
