Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

And it's so sad what is happening to Gaza and in the West Bank.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

Like it is absolutely wrong.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

But when I'm in my kitchen and I'm running the tap.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

Because even though there's water that I'm wasting, I'm not just thinking of the kids in Gaza in tents.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

I'm also thinking of the people in Yemen and the people in Sudan as well.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

And I think that we are overly concentrating on one group rather than another.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

Yeah, and I want to be fair to her because she did say, you know, she did say that she had said about Saudi Arabia as well.

However, and yet, and yet, there is obviously when you go into the draw, Aaron, and the consensus across the political parties is Israel.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

But can I please just come back?

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

Well, actually, if we could just go back to Gary's piece, he's making two points that actually for the FAI, it's actually really tricky for them.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

They're bound by the rules and they will forfeit an awful lot and could be penalised if they don't play.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

And he suggests one thing, the best thing would be for Irish football fans to boycott the game so the fans could choose not to go.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

which actually would also help about safety if there is going to be trouble.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

You really would be afraid of public order.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

You could say the FAI should sell no tickets.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

The players, if they so choose, could wear black armbands in solidarity with the victims of the war in Gaza and silence rather than noise would signal its own fury.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

And I think that's a possible thing.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

Well, they could protest outside.

Brendan O'Connor
The Newspaper Panel

But one other thing, just on Lorna's point about the players.
