Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I saw the attacks on the campaign of Ejiro O'Hare-Stratton and the racist tropes that are being thrown at new Irish people and communities. Thankfully, more people from our diverse society are running for local authorities across all parties and none. All of us support that, and I certainly do. These types of attacks on campaigns and the abuse hurled at candidates, regardless of background, are absolutely abhorrent and should be condemned by every party and Member of this House. I wish Ejiro O'Hare-Stratton all the very best for her campaign and tell her to keep going, as I know she will. Suzzie O'Deniyi, a Fianna Fáil candidate in Limerick, puts up with some awful abuse. All of us have to stand united against this type of racial abuse.
