Disturbing Anti-Immigrant Comments from Councillor

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Monday July 14, 2003 16:14author by Pettycoat Luce

Disturbing anti-immigrant comments have been made by Councillor Jon Rainey, the vice-chairperson of Fingal County Council. By clicking the link to the Northside People newspaper and going to the title "Ireland's babies are Irish" under Northside news, you will be able to read these comments as reported. Cllr. Rainey used to be in the PD's, but is now an "independent" Councillor. He was supported for the position of Vice Chair of the Council by FF and FG Councillors. He obviously sees immigrant bashing as his easy ticket to re-election in next year's local elections.
