Yeah, didn't they completely fail at stopping hezbollah from rebuilding, right in their backyard?

That assumes that their mission is to stop anything. UNRWA's sole mission (like most large-scale nonprofits - not suggesting they're unique) is to continue to procure money for its 30,000 or so salaried posts.
Additionally, it assumes that the Irish, who broadly as a people support national liberation movements, would even want to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding, even if they could.
I mean what they think is somewhat irrelevant here, their UN mission was to stop terrorists from rebuilding, and utterly failed.
The UN does not consider Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization, so that could not have been their UN mission.
Seems like a failing of the UN, if true.
