Episode Details

Fianna Fails deputy leader, Jack Chambers, criticizes former Taoiseach Bertie Aherns recent immigration comments, labeling them as wrong and inappropriate. Aherns remarks during a byelection canvass in Dublin have sparked controversy within his party. Fianna Fail MEP Cynthia Ni Mhurchu and Tanaiste Simon Harris have urged Ahern to apologize, while Independent Dublin councillor Nial Ring dismisses it as political theater. EU Commissioner Michael McGrath, a former Fianna Fail finance minister, doesnt view Ahern as racist but agrees he shouldnt have said it. Migrant groups and Muslim leaders have condemned the comments, and the incident underscores the delicate balance in discussing immigration policy in Ireland.
