Minister Thomas Byrne.
Look at his reaction to being asked about comments from Michael D Higgins.

This happened in killarney. The young lad who done it is called Edward Mellor. He is originally from England but moved to the killarney/killorgan area. He was talking to this elderly man in an alley beside the pub and knocked him out with a sucker punch for a Snapchat video.

It beggers belief that the Irish Government want Irish troops to help Israel Ethnically Cleanse Southern Lebanon. The Irish people want no part in the EU's support for the brutal Zionist Settler Colonial Project still driven by Western Imperialism...
Irish troops should be deployed to Lebanon as part of a new EU mission and be involved in both peacekeeping and peace enforcement duties, according to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence Helen McEntee.
