Questioning Justice Minister Helen McEntee on immigration data

There's a disconnect between what the Government does and what it says on immigration. There's also a lack of transparency on key data.

Don't give her a fool's pardon: she was put in place to bring chaos to the country and she is happily doing that. She has probably been paid a lot of money by various bodies to do what she's doing. Plus she is probably enjoying what she's doing - I suspect she suffers from mental illness.

One can only dream of such an outcome, unless that is her local constituency finally decide to act in the interests of the whole country, and actually give her the boot come election time. At this point she deserves nothing less. She is a VERY dangerous politician, utterly ruthless, and imho, she should be in a prison cell for what she has facilitated over the last 2 to 3 years. She is 100% guilty of treason. I bet her Harris Varadkar and co are all freemasons. God help us all if she is returned to the Dail. I would only say this about a very limited number of politicians, but I genuinely believe she is EVIL. There is no other explanation for her actions.
