A person who will consider hiring a rapist is not fit to be our President – Carroll MacNeill

Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill said today:

“A Presidential candidate who employs a person convicted by the Special Criminal Court to work for them in the Oireachtas and to then consider hiring a convicted rapist for the Áras is not fit to be our President.

“How can Mary Lou McDonald, Ivana Bacik and Holly Cairns back a candidate who said she would need to reflect on whether she would hire a convicted rapist to work in Áras an Uachtaráin?”
