Taoiseach Micheál Martin's statement on Lebanon

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 Ghanian colleagues today.

I have been briefed on the latest situation, and all Irish personnel serving in Lebanon remain safe and accounted for.
