Overview
- Thunberg addressed an outdoor event at Dalymount Park where organisers reported about 1,100 attendees for An Evening of Words and Songs for Gaza.
- Bohemian Cooperatives, the club’s climate justice initiative, hosted the programme, with all proceeds pledged to community-led winter aid for families in Gaza.
- Thunberg spoke alongside Médecins Sans Frontières deputy medical coordinator for Palestine Dr Mohammed Abu Mughaisib in conversation with Irish campaigner Caoimhe Butterly, with musical performances by Róisín El Cherif, Sorcha Richardson and Kevin Corcoran.
- The programme highlighted recent flotillas to Gaza and broader solidarity efforts, and Thunberg urged supporters to escalate activism while describing Ireland as complicit in what she called genocide.
- A day before the event, Thunberg met President Catherine Connolly at Áras an Uachtaráin, a reception criticised online by former justice minister Alan Shatter, who cited her past social-media remarks and associations in questioning the meeting.
