Established in February 2005 by students, members of staff and alumni, the University of Limerick Palestine Solidarity Society is affiliated with the wider Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign nationally.

The aims of the University of Limerick Palestine Solidarity Society are to involve the students on campus in the following activities:

• To raise awareness in Ireland of the international plight of the Palestinian People.
• To promote Irish government involvement in finding a just solution for the Palestinian people, based on the full and unequivocal implementation of the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council resolutions regarding the right to self determination and respect for the human rights of the Palestinians.
• To develop and co-ordinate grassroots support for Palestinian rights among the media and concerned NGO's.
• To foster links between Palestinian and Irish organisations in the area of health, education and the global economy.
• To promote Palestinian culture: literature, music and other arts in Ireland, so Ireland and Palestine can share in each other's rich cultural history.
• To bring real Palestinian voices to life in the media in order to contribute to informed reporting on aspects of the current Middle East conflict and the Israeli occupation.
