You realize Twitter isn't real life?
A couple of right wing US political commentators (with millions of followers) highlight the fact Ireland doesn't enforce its own immigration laws.
This then gets retweeted/shared/liked by a fraction of a fraction of 1% of the people who saw it.
And you use this "datapoint" to deligitimize peoples valid concerns (which BTW were shared by a sitting FF TD and European candidate yesterday)
And his comments are up in the FF website, so obviously the party (who are in Government) agree with his views to some extent
