Sinn Féin TD Thomas Gould hit out at English far-right activist Tommy Robinson, saying that he was not welcome in Cork
SINN FÉIN’S THOMAS Gould has hit out at English nationalist and far-right activist Tommy Robinson, telling the Dáil that he is not welcome in Ireland.
“There are rumours that a prominent English fascist will visit Cork in the coming days,” Gould said, not directly naming Robinson. “He doesn’t care about our communities, he doesn’t care about Ireland he cares about spreading his disgusting hate,” Gould said.Gould made the comments during a Dáil debate on the Government’s approach to to accommodating asylum seekers, telling TDs that one group of vulnerable people should not be pitched against another.“I’m proud to be from the northside, I’m proud to be from Cork, I’m proud to be Irish and I’m a proud Republican,” Gould said.
Recently, Robinson was handed down a five-year stalking order for shouting abuse outside the home of a female UK journalist and threatening repeatedly to return. Earlier today, the Public Accounts Committee was told that the Department of Integration is seeing a significant reluctance among providers to provide accommodation for international protection applicants.
