The same day, Deputy Danny Healy-Rae, referring to male asylum seekers in Kerry, said "they have landed now" and that women and girls who used to walk the Muckross Road, morning, noon and night will all stop doing that because they are worried about their safety. There are people of colour who are too afraid to come into town to work after those riots. There are LGBTQ people who are keeping their heads down after those riots. Wild talk exacts a price in human suffering. The Deputies who put forward a motion riddled with racist tropes, racist myths and racist stereotypes have a lot to answer for.
