Dublin City Council has given the go-ahead to plans to demolish the well-known Kiely’s pub in Donnybrook, Dublin, to make way for a shared co-living accommodation scheme.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Cllr Hazel Chu, has said she draws a line when racists make remarks about her child.
She revealed that she still gets comments every day questioning her Irishness, despite the fact that she was born here, but that when they “come after my family that s a different issue altogether”.
Even though she was born at the Rotunda Hospital, Cllr Chu told The Hard Shoulder that there are still people who insist on making her feel different. There s a small vocal minority that tells you you are different every day,” she said. Today it was you are a spy from the CCP and no matter how much you try you re never going to be Irish . yesterday was show us your birth cert if you really are Irish .
