This week Noel Grealish was outgoing chair of the Oireachtas golf club, when 81 guests from all over the country, including Minister Darragh Calleary, went on the piss together in Galway.
#golfgate
Noel Grealish in the past, claimed that people seeking asylum in Ireland are here to "sponge off the system".

In 2008 Darragh Calleary opposed a direct provision centre in his area because it would "drive tourists away".

Just a sample of Oireachtas members' approaches to DP
Fast forward to this week & we've a situation where some people who demonised asylum seekers, left them in dreadful conditions, where Covid19 could spread rapidly, are having a jolly in Galway while the virus runs riot in Direct Provision centres.
Today people of #Kildare are being chastised for the inaction, negligence and cruelty of the Oireachtas when it comes to an inhumane direct provision system and also because of the working conditions in some places.
#KildareLockdown
The Oireachtas Golf Club chose to go to a gold piss up, rather than try to sort out the real reasons that Kildare is on #Lockdown. You can be damn sure everyone in #Kildare will be asking them about golf the next time they come looking for votes.
#lockdownextension
Add in all those people on #liveline recalling the funerals of their loved ones. Their stories are heartbreaking.
The Dáil has to be recalled. BTW - did they all pay for the dinner in Galway or was there a sponsor?
