Another Racist comment on another Longford leader Article, Caroline Molloy seems to think that because one foreign national committed a crime in Ireland, that anyone who is not Irish should not be allowed in Ireland to stay. That man should be judged on he’s crimes and that alone! not where he came from or what nationality he is. Caroline should learn to stop painting everyone with the same brush

This comes from a woman to my knowledge who is currently unemployed.
