Should the President have spoken at a Holocaust memorial?

Amongst protests and walkouts, President Michael D. Higgins read at a ceremony yesterday marking Holocaust Memorial Day. It comes as the Chief Rabbi Yoni Wieder had asked the President not to attend the ceremony due to comments he made in the past. So, should he have listened to this request? To discuss, Kieran is joined by Lior Tibet, Jewish-Israeli woman based in Dublin, and one of the protesters at the event.
