This afternoon.
Nenagh, Co Tipperary
Shane MacGowan (centre) with children and officials from the Al-Helal soccer academy in Gaza currently on tour in ireland.
The footballers, aged from 10 to 14 years old, are staying and playing in Nenagh and will visit Dubliin, Limerick, Kinvara and Wexford over the coming days as guests [see link below] of Gaza Action Ireland.
Shane, whose parents came from Nenagh, is recovering from a recent illness.

They even got a drop of rain for the full Irish experience. Nice bit of publicity for Gazas plight too. Good work GAI.
End Israeli colonisation.
Wouldn’t be the first time Shane flirted wit terrorist supporting groups I suppose.
‘with’
Do they look like terrorists to you?
I misread your post. Still, this looks like a worthy cause.
A desolate, neglected wasteland, Nenagh seemed an ideal home away from home for the children.

On a positive note, good to see Shane out and about again.
Fair play.
Surprised the headline didn’t read ‘Dirty Old Town’.
Gaza kids or gaza boys?
Toothless. And Gaza.
Well done Shane and thanks for thinking of others.
Maith an fear Shane ! Good to see Tipperary standing up for Justice in Palestine ! Remember it was the same British who colonized & ethnically cleansed us Irish that took the land of Palestine from the native Palestinians ! It’s far beyond time for a just and fair solution in the Israel/Palestine question !
Gods move Tipp give your questionable award of that peace prize to John Kerry.
