A spokesperson for the department told RTÉ News that “Ireland is open to considering the option of airdrops of humanitarian assistance, and this is among several issues that have been raised in recent contacts at political and official level between Ireland and Jordan”.

However, the spokesperson said that initiatives such as air-dropping aid into Gaza “must not distract from the urgent need to dramatically scale up the level of humanitarian assistance entering Gaza by land”.

“Full, safe and unhindered humanitarian access and massive scale-up in humanitarian aid is Ireland’s priority, and is the priority of all humanitarian actors on the ground, and must remain our primary focus,” the department spokesperson added.

On Saturday, the US air-dropped more than 38,000 meals along the Gaza coast in an operation conducted alongside Jordan.

Ireland can drop potatos to Hamas. On the other hand, bacon would be good.

The Irish hate Jews. It’s the only nation that sent official condolences on the death of Adolf Hitler.

Slow flying transport aircraft flying at low altitudes make great targets for undisciplined, wild and woolly Palestinians of all stripes. And they probably have the weapons to take one down.

They never used to, during the 1970s and 1980s. My late father had no problems.

Jordan should invite Gazans to dine in Jordan - permanently.

If a hundred people are stampeded to death when a few trucks try to distribute food and supplies, you can imagine the death toll when it's dropped from airplanes in great quantities.

It's the maddening effect of Islam on the masses that requires leaders like Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi.

Two terrorism supporters themselves? I think not.

More like Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

I didn’t mean that I approve of Gaddafi or Saddam. My point was that it takes a tyrant to rule them.

I’ve noticed this very thing on Twitter.

People in Ireland getting mad at Israel as they are being overrun by Muslims.

You’d think they would be taking care of their own problems, not worrying about what’s happening on another continent.

yet the bulk of the people are in the south. the need to drop 2.5 million meals three times a day. How about delivering aid by ship to the beach with distribution through checkpoints. Marines to guarantee security. Biden went for the .005 solution. Winken blinked and nod at work again.

Maybe some of Ireland’s leftist politicians do but I’ve never heard of regular Irish people hating Jews. Half my family is Irish-American and they are mostly Judeophiles from what I’ve seen.
