Limerick TD calls on Justice Minister to stop playing to ‘woke gallery’

Limerick Fianna Fรกil TD Willie O'Dea.

JUSTICE Minister Helen McEntee should stop playing to the โ€œwoke galleryโ€ and focus on crime.

That was the call from Limerick TD Willie Oโ€™Dea in a column in last weekendโ€™s Sunday Indepenent.

โ€œThe public want her to focus more on delivering safe streets than on playing to the woke gallery,โ€ the former Minister for Defence wrote.

He added that โ€œevery minute spent pushing a flawed hate bill or allowing Gardaรญ who pursue criminals to be investigated is a minute wasted.โ€

Outlining a number of examples of anti-social behaviour relayed to him by constituents, the Deputy called on the Minister to โ€œdramatically increaseโ€ Garda numbers and resources on the streets to weed out โ€œthe growing problem of street crime and wanton anti-social behaviour.โ€
