Dublin City Councillors have voted in favour of a motion to fly a 'peace flag' above City Hall to symbolise a desire for a ceasefire in the Middle East.
Two emergency motions were put to councillors at this evening's monthly meeting, one calling for the Palestinian flag to be raised while the second called for the peace flag.
In the letter, Dana Erlich said:"We know that this conflict touches many people in Ireland but we would respectfully ask you, as the chief executive and Council members of this multicultural capital's city council, to consider the many Israeli citizens of all faiths, the Jewish community here in Ireland and the community supporting Israel that lives, works and contributes in this city, with regard to the symbolism that a Palestinian flag flying on City Hall has.
