JUSTICE Minister Helen McEntee should stop playing to the โwoke galleryโ and focus on crime.
That was the call from Limerick TD Willie OโDea in a column in last weekendโs Sunday Indepenent.
โThe 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 โevery 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 โdramatically increaseโ Garda numbers and resources on the streets to weed out โthe growing problem of street crime and wanton anti-social behaviour.โ
