Sinn Féin's calling on a Clare TD to clarify claims in the Dáil that the British army never shot at or bombed Irish civilians "even in the worst of days". Meelick Fianna Fáil Deputy Cathal Crowe was speaking during a debate triggered by a motion brought forward by Labour on actions the Government can take in response to Israel's ongoing war on Gaza. According to London-based NGO Action on Armed Violence, at least 188 civilians were killed by the British military in Ireland during the Troubles alone, 86 of which had no obvious motive or pattern of killings. Sinn Féin TD spokesperson for Gaeilge, Gaeltacht, Arts and Culture, Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD, has called on Deputy Crowe to apologise and correct the record. Speaking in the Dáil Deputy Crowe said the level of violence against civilians in Gaza is unprecedented.
