Donegal South West TD Thomas Pringle (Ind) has submitted a second written question to the Minister for Foreign Affairs Eamonn Gilmour on the subject of Anti-Irish Racism in Scotland.Pringle is clearly unsatisfied with the answer to his first question.
Pringle makes reference in his second question to the “P&O will take you home” stickers which appeared in certain areas of Glasgow in 2008 when the “Famine song” was first heard in Scottish soccer stadia.
It is clear that Minister Gilmour will not satisfy Pringle with standardized answers on this important issue.
