Yup. I was complaining about the inaction on x case legislation and said I had been emailing his office for months to get a time to meet but they didn't give me a time until after Savita died and he said that was propaganda. 🙄

Should I fit myself for a tinfoil hat if I also think this is encouraging Connolly voters to not bother going to the polls which benefits a candidate who has no problem with animal cruelty as found in for eg horse and greyhound racing?

The irish presidential election is basically now between "dog fighting transphobe" and "woman who destroys children in soccer matches"

I will be voting for Connoly in support of her war on childrens egos.

Not going to share 'grift' but Heather Humphreys has just said that I'm a man and the gender recognition act should be changed. Please do not vote for or give a preference for her. Having someone as president who thinks this way would be absolutely awful for minorities #SpeirGorm
