The Taoiseach’s postponed his visit to our locality today.

Leo Varadkar was due to officially open a new Fine Gael office in Kilkenny but that’s been rescheduled as matters of state have arisen.

He’s in Paris today to attend an International Conference on Humanitarian Assistance for the Civilians in Gaza and will meet with leaders from the region to discuss how to help Irish citizens who want to leave, and will hear from aid agencies working there.

Meanwhile, hear what MEP Seán Kelly has to say on the current conflict in the middle east.
