Group admits to action against logistics firm in Cork

A group calling itself Palestine Action Éire has claimed responsibility for what gardaí have described as an incident of criminal damage at the Cork premises of a multinational logistics firm, the third such attack there in three months.

In an email sent to media, the group claimed it had broken windows and daubed red paint on the Little Island premises of DB Schenker, a subsidiary of Danish transport and logistics firm DSV.

The group said it acted in protest against logistics services it alleged were provided by the company to Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems. This was its third such incident targeting DSV in recent months.

Palestine Action Éire has previously claimed responsibility for several incidents at premises it claims were linked to Israeli interests, including a number of incidents at the Cork city premises of Collins Aerospace.

The Garda Press Office said gardaí had received a report of a criminal damage incident at a business premises in Little Island on Monday, July 27, at approximately 12.35am.

They added that enquiries were ongoing.

DSV has multiple branches in Ireland, including locations in Dublin, Cork, and Shannon, offering services in air, sea, and road freight, as well as warehousing solutions.

The company employs approximately 400 people in Ireland. DB Schenker has been contacted for comment.
