Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is coming under increasing pressure to condemn racist comments made by a Limerick Fine Gael councillor.
Councillor Stephen Keary, is the father-in-law of junior minister Patrick ODonovan and has defended comments in which he suggested welfare recipients from Eastern Europe see Ireland as easy pickings.
We are known as the home for the handouts. They see us as easy pickings, said Mr Keary.
People have come here from Eastern Europe for the handouts. It has become a huge problem.
A spokesman for Mr Varadkar said the Taoiseach had been briefed on the matter
The Councilor in question Mr Keary, continued to defend his comments yesterday, stating: I stand over everything I said.
Is he Racist, are his comments now common currency in Ireland? Is it acceptable?
Should he be elevated to the position of Mayor as is presently proposed?
