Dublin City Council Votes to Fly Palestinian Flag, Rejects Israeli Flag
(Dublin Live-Ireland) Laura Lyne - Dublin City councilors have voted to fly the Palestinian flag over City Hall for one month. The decision received 42 votes in support in the 63-member council. An alternative proposal, to fly both the Palestinian flag and Israeli flag for one week, was voted down with 43 votes against. Lord Mayor Brendan Carr chose to abstain from the final vote, explaining that he met with young Palestinians and Israelis who said they did not want Irish people taking sides as they tried to establish peace.
