My speech on gender ideology and the Irish education system from last night. I spoke from the heart and this my best recollection of what I said.

Ireland is often held up as this shining example of Self ID. "Look, there are no problems in Ireland!" This statement could not be further from the truth.

I'm going to talk about the disastrous consequences Self ID and Gender Ideology have had on the Irish education system.

Schools are teaching that sex is "assigned" at birth and that biological sex is about stereotypes not anatomy. It's outrageous!

Irish school kids generally fall into one of two categories. The brainwashed kids chant the mantras and go along with the lies. They form the vast majority of the student body.

The other kids who question the ideology are few and far between. Teachers gaslight them and try to convince them that reality isn't real. They are bullied and excluded by students and teachers alike. Believe me, I know. I AM one of the few and far between.

Safeguarding has been absolutely thrown out the window. Boys are permitted in girls' toilets, changing rooms and dorms. Teachers collude with distressed students and keep secrets from their parents. It's a safeguarding nightmare.

I know how unbelievable all this sounds. The biggest hurdle I face in campaigning against this nonsense is the fact that many parents simply cannot believe this is happening. But I assure you, it is.

As well as the indoctrination, the gaslighting and the absence of safeguarding there are yet more consequences. When teachers lie to their students the student-teacher relationship is decimated.

A science teacher once told me that being a man or a woman has nothing to do with your reproductive system. As she is so woefully wrong about this, it forces me to question everything else she teaches. I have lost all trust in and respect for these activist teachers.

Overnight trips are becoming a nightmare for girls as they can be forced to share their supposedly female dorms with boys. Complaints to schools are completely ignored.

This is not inclusive or kind in the slightest. My world feels so limited now. I'm constantly on guard. Schools in Ireland have absolutely betrayed their female students.

I implore you. Please don't make the same mistakes Ireland has. Stand against this dangerous ideology. Protect your schools and protect your children.
