In terms of vulnerable people being affected by her, that's a possibility of course but not all her supporters are in any way vulnerable in terms of mental health in the traditional sense.

No of course, many of them are just right-wing racist a55holes with a grudge against they don't know who.

I reckon she has a paranoid personality disorder with a side of schizoid-narcissism and she needs psychiatric help for it.

I would also be concerned for people vulnerable to such things that she may be influencing online and who be adversely affected by her.

My head is spinning with all the Physiatry experts here .

It's false consciousness. Some people have bought wholesale into the outrage against anything which usually ends up being anger directed at their own social class for not being on board.

See Tucker Carlson, he's extremely effective at pushing this.

Supporting Gemma wouldn't make you this, supporting some of her policies certainly would though.

She's had some bad experiences in her life and mental health is not something that is easily explained.

The rambling etc reminded me of when a close friend was being treated for severe depression but hers are a lot worse.

It's probably related to that but it doesn't mean that she's mentally ill. Take David Icke. He spouts complete nonsense but is by most metrics a mentally healthy individual.

I don't know if any of us are really able to say what causes her to hold the ideas she holds but since it happened about the same time ass a personal trauma we can say the two are probably related.

Tackling corruption mainly. As for mass migration I would have concerns about it but that didn't mean I'm against migration entirely or anything like that . A small number of my own ancestors were migrants . 5 g i am concerned about but in time I think that will probably be nothing to be worried about at all, time will tell. But nothing wrong imo in raising questions about it.
I don't really agree with anti vax stuff although I don't have a problem raising issues of possible side effects but not to the point of putting people off. Its about trying to make these things as safe as possible . I think that where she is coming from on that issue.
I think she thinks climate change is a hoax i certainly don't agree with that .

So... you're pretty much just against corruption, then? So are the vast majority of people (or at least they claim to be, while still voting for the same politicians, something I just don't get...)

I digress, though.

The problem is GO'D is now pointing at everything she doesn't like and shouting "Corruption! Cultural Marxist George Soros funded conspiracy!" and the bigger problem with that is it's leading to a racist far-right rabbithole where direct provision centres get set on fire.

Shes anti immigration but then (correctly) thinks more houses should be built.

By who?!

Well personally I think that's what she should stick to anyway. Getting involved in too many other matters will go against her and judging by this thread is turning people against her. The irony is that perhaps she has become her own worst enemy?

Your concerns sound perfectly reasonable and so does your weighing them up in your own mind.

I've yet to see Gemma express herself in such terms. With her its 'im right, youre wrong, and whats more youre complicit with a left wing conspiracy and/or an agent of the deep state. And if you say a word against me ill sue you for defamation'

Its just the ravings of an ill woman.

We don't have the numbers to meet the proposed demand.

And even when we did have far higher numbers we relied on inward migration heavily for the construction industry.

Apprenticeships are down about 80-90% since the boom.

Who though? Try get a builder to do a small job these days. A nightmare in availability and cost. Never mind finding supply to build 35000 homes a year.

The Irish construction workers live in Australia and Canada and earn megabucks. 100,000 people left for Australia alone. An average of 27 people a day - every day, for 10 years.

Employment sponsored visas in order of volume in Australia: carpenters, joiners, engineers, project administrators, electricians, plumbers, architects and motor mechanics. All left Ireland.

Apprenticeships have fallen from 27,000 during the last housing boom to a current level of 3,000.

We simply don't have the people to do the work. Nowhere near. With 60% of Irish school leavers heading for 3rd level, we won't have them in the future either.

This is where these "do it ourselves" Brexit type conversations fall down. When you actually bother to read the numbers.

The housing during the Tiger was built largely by Polish and Lithuanian lads. We need those big evil foreigners back. Coming over here, building our homes.

She shouted at some Gardai and called news presenters who wear make up "tarts" on a live stream in front of 20 people and some children.

Think thats about it since she turned to GO'D.

In a previous incarnation she exposed a penalty points scandal in the Gardai and exposed a fiddler, which was good, but that was long long ago. Well before her brain turned to bubbling ooze.

Not to be pedantic but she didn't expose the penalty point scandal. The scandal was revealed via the whistleblower cases and other journalists were on that story before Gemma. Gemma (amongst others) were following up on the story and the extent to which the points were being quashed. This lead her to doorstepping Commissioner Callaghan.

If memory serves me right, wasn't it Commissioner Callanans wife that she doorstepped?

Yep

He said without informing her editor, Ms O’Doherty had “decided to show up” at the home of Mr Callinan at 10pm on April 11th, 2013. He was away and his wife answered the door and was “somewhat upset”, Mr Kennedy said, as was Mr Callinan when he heard of the incident.

Also for anyone who missed this article during her ill-fated presidential nomination run, it's a brilliant takedown of her so-called 'investigative journalism"

Yes, one of her awards was from GSK (Big Pharma) for an article on Cancer research. She doesn't say that on her self penned bio.

Now she is saying that we are being flouridated because the One World Order wants to reduce the world's population by 6 billion and that we should close the Irish airspace to stop planes flying overhead because they are "doing illegal things" ( chemtrail poisoning us).

So you see, it doesn't matter what she has achieved in the past, it's now is what is relevant.
