The daughters of a Cork man who is being detained by the Israeli authorities say they believe he may now be on hunger strike
Robyn and Rebecca O'Donovan's father Paddy is among 16 Irish citizens arrested after his boat, which is part of the Gaza aid flotilla, was intercepted yesterday
Robyn says she understands her father is now on hunger strike with a number of others who are due to be transferred to a prison about 30 km from Egypt
Speaking on the Neil Prendeville Show Robyn says information on their status is slow to filter through
"We are just trying to piece it all together now and figure it out, but so far, we know that they're on an indefinite hunger strike and that they've been transferred to a prison about 30 miles off Egypt, and we're just kind of waiting for more news. But it's just, it's a waiting game, I suppose"
