Alex White?
Labour’s replacement for Roisin Shorthall as junior minister in the Department of Health?
We literally have no idea.
But we found this from a pro-life website in August:
The Labour Party TD, Alex White, has admitted that the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) cannot ‘require’ Ireland to legislate on abortion, according to a report in the Sunday Times.
His comments were made in response to questions from journalist Sarah McInerney in a lengthy feature on abortion. It was put to Mr White that the Fine Gael TD, Lucinda Creighton, who is a barrister, had told a Fine Gael parliamentary party meeting that, unlike a directive from the European Court of Justice, an ECHR judgment is not legally binding.
According to the Sunday Times, White, also a barrister, ‘reluctantly’ agreed. “The ECHR doesn’t require a state to do something,” he admitted, though he argued that the Court’s judgments had a “heavy persuasive effect”.
Deputy White’s remarks were in contrast to earlier claims from Labour that Ireland was required to act on the ECHR ruling in the ABC case – and was required to legislate for abortion.
Ah.

By writing a ditty,
About old Cork City,
Two wonderful prints of Tintin.

Dublin
There was a young lad called Tintin
Who loved an old Red Bull and gin
He smoked Jonny Blue
And Snowy did too
The scanger kingpin of Dublin
‘Ah Feck’
Cork
Tintin left The Pale just to see
If he’d find a new life by the Lee
But there weren’t any jobs
Folk talked like Eddie Hobbs
So he legged it back to Dublin 3
