Has Gemma ever expressed a desire to deport Hazel Chu on the grounds that she is not of a pure native bloodline? I'm aware that their politics are very opposed to each other, but that is a separate matter.

recedite wrote: » Just to be clear here, the allegation made by poster The Nal seems to be that Gemma (not some random guy) wants to revoke the citizenships of oriental looking Irish people. But are we talking about somebody born in Ireland whose parents were both Chinese people living here illegally at the time? Or are we talking about somebody who has one Irish parent and one Chinese or Korean parent. Because these are 2 totally different issues. One is an immigration issue. The other would be a racist issue. I appreciate that some of you guys don't like to make any distinction, but in the interests of clarity, can you say which you mean?

ohnonotgmail wrote: » This is in relation to Hazel Chu. hazel was born here. she is an irish citizen by birth. the status of her parents is irrelevant. gemma supports deporting irish citizens she does not think are irish enough.

recedite wrote: » I presume Chu was born before 2005 when the law was changed, but nowadays the status of the parents is relevant. Where is the part where Gemma comes out and says she wants to deport Irish citizens she does not think are Irish enough? Anyway this was not originally about Chu. It was after this post... ..and some other posters here then attacked that poster and made disgusting remarks that Gemma would like to make this person leave the country.

DubInMeath wrote: » Hmm I see that you decided to quote this post rather than my earlier one, where I pointed out that based on his previous posts Stephen would see you as someone who isn't Irish and that if Gemma and her ilk get their way then you will have to leave the country. If it dies happen make sure that the door doesn't hit you in the arse on the way out and best of luck where ever you end up. Also in terms of my reply post you quoted, it was actually pointing out that people get attacked for wearing an item of clothing related to their sexuality or religion by the type of idiots who follow her and support her. The same type of idiots who would happily kick the **** out of you and are the same type of idiots who attacked Sikhs after the September 11 attacks in the U.S. I guess that somethings just go over some people's heads.
