My thoughts are with all those fleeing conflict and crises. I hope they find welcome in my home town, just like my family has found welcome on their journeys for survival in the past.#Irelandforall #GalwayCityWelcomesRefugees

Very sad to see more protests against housing asylum seekers. Frightening & upsetting for people who are desperately seeking safety and shelter after already enduring horrendous ordeals.
