A LOCAL Green Party representative has expressed his deep concern at the recent aggression towards elected representatives.
Anluan Dunne, who is a candidate for the party in the upcoming local elections in the Tralee area, issued a statement after masked men went to the home of Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman to protest against immigration on Thursday evening.

“To see masked men attack my Green Party colleague, Roderic O’Gorman’s house in this way is shocking and I condemn these actions in the strongest possible terms.”
“We have seen a continual increase in harassment and intimidation of politicians and representatives. This must be addressed and stopped. As someone who is running for election in Kerry, I find this deteriorating situation troubling both for myself and my family. No one doing their job should be treated in this manner.”
“I am also deeply concerned at reports of a lack of action from Gardaí in tackling what is clearly antisocial behaviour and a potential breach of the peace. We need thuggery of this sort addressed swiftly and comprehensively,” he said.
