As I was leaving Portlaoise on a bus to Templemore recently a man in his late fifties early sixties, turned to me across the aisle, and thought it was appropriate to make a comment suggesting Nigerians in the town should have the post office open on a public holiday. The implication being they could collect social welfare benefits. How this individual feels at liberty to speak to a stranger in this way is shocking and deeply worrying.
It is rare to see motorists waved down and stopped by Gardaí in Dublin city centre. I do, however, recall seeing three such incidents in recent months; once on Eden Quay, once on Gardiner Street and once on College Green. On each occasion the 'offending' driver was black. Coincidence?
Two fine men a credit to their country 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪. God bless both.

Unfortunately there is no cure for hatred stupidity and ignorance
