Green Party Leader Eamon Ryan
Eamon Ryan just used the n-word in the Dáil. Talking about #BlackLivesMatter he said:
“In the newspaper today there was a young Irishman Sean Gillane giving his experience of being othered. Of being from the age of six given that name – you n****r”

This afternoon.
Get him.
Kick his bike.
Update:
White people – the only time it is acceptable for you to use the N word is never.
You’re welcome.— Philip O’Connor (@philipoconnor) June 11, 2020
Oh, it’s on.

Update:
I made a speech in the Dáil today about the scourge of racism in our society. In quoting from an article I read this morning, I repeated a racial slur, and I was completely wrong to do so. I want to apologise for any hurt caused. I know this particular word should never be used.
