There are 3 stories in the headlines today about Irish men assaulting/raping women. But yeah keep blaming immigration. The root of the issue is male violence against women, doesn’t matter where they are from.

What planet is Leo Varadkar living on? The housing crisis is Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil's making.

You may have heard in a Dáil speech by TD Richard O’Donoghue last week; that I had my bike driven down to me in Limerick by a State Driver in a State Car.
I do not have a state car or driver.
