Fergus O'Dowd (FG), Louth

Ejiro O'Hare-Stratton came to Drogheda over 33 years ago with the Medical Missionaries of Mary. She qualified as a nurse and has a master's degree in hospital administration. She got married and has four children. Two are doctors and one is a dentist. Her son, who is in his first year of university, represents Ireland internationally in athletics. Ejiro is a fantastic woman. She set up Hands 4 Unity, a group which brings all communities, races and religions together in Drogheda. She is standing for Fine Gael in the local election. Last week, the Irish Freedom Party wrote the slogan "Ireland Is Full" on her poster. She said that sometimes the memes just write themselves. A great deal of racial abuse is being hurled at candidates of different colour and from different countries and religions. It is important that this Parliament and its Members, of all parties and none, stand up and condemn these actions and ensure they are dealt with.
