He’s aged a bit since this was taken.

Jim Miley, former General Secretary of Fine Gael, founder of MyHome.ie and project manager of The Scamming Gathering 2013.

“Gabriel Byrne is someone we all know and love and obviously he has his opinions – but they’re one man’s opinions. There are many other opinions.

She’s first generation Irish, she’s one of those people that Gabriel was talking about so there are many different types of people.”
