Hello, can you hear me?
Was it on Facebook?
Yes, but firstly, could I just congratulate her?
She comes across
as a remarkable young woman.
Thank you.
And she'll be very welcome initially.
And I hope, you know, I just came across the Facebook by some of the far-right, well, agitators, whatever, but the level of abuse that she was receiving was appalling.
And as a father of three daughters, I found it overpowering that some young Irish person should just be receiving this.
Mm-hmm.
I posted a favourable comment about her and I was on the receiving end of it myself.
I was actually amazed at the level of fake, dodgy profiles of her hurling abuse at both her and me.
Basically, the person in question who was the Facebook profile was saying that, you know...
She's not Irish, she's not this, she's not that.
What's your views?
And I just said, it's easy enough to Google her.
I never knew of her existence prior to this.
I Googled her.
She's a well-educated medical student from Sligo.
What's the problem?
