Kneecap's charity run cheered on by Irish president
More than 200 runners joined the 10km charity run led by Kneecap to support Gaza Food and Play project providing emergency aid and psychosocial support to displaced children.
- Wednesday, Kneecap organised a 10km run to Áras an Uachtaráin, where President Catherine Connolly greeted and encouraged Moglai Bap.
- Kneecap organised the run to raise funds for the Gaza Food and Play project, which provides emergency aid, while Moglai Bap has run 10km in each tour city since last year.
- More than 200 runners took part, many waving Palestinian flags and chanting "Free Palestine", pausing for selfies with the president before gathering at Bang Bang café where Greta Thunberg joined briefly.
- Irish Jewish organisations criticised President Catherine Connolly for greeting Kneecap's Moglai Bap, calling it deeply unsettling amid the band's accusations of antisemitism and concert bans.
- The run coincided with Kneecap's two sold-out shows at Dublin's 3Arena and Gaza solidarity events including a Bohemians fundraiser and Greta Thunberg's appearances this week.
