The Curious Case of Violet-Anne Wynne

Seems you are trying to get a reaction

She wasn’t “trying to wing it”, she was doing her job.

You will find young women and mother in Ireland would be horrified to hear this attitude

We should be trying to increase the number of women in the Dail, not tell them that they should be at home looking after the children. Whats wrong with Violet Anne husband looking after the children?

It's such a sexist comments and really belong in the 70's. What makes it worse is that it's a woman saying it.

If Violet Anne did try and reignite a career later on you would find the same people would tell you she is too old. I am amazed that someone would come out wit a comment, sorry actually not amazed as it's just a way to stop saying something critical of Sinn Fein. I very much hope this person doesn't actually think like that.

But a man can? cop on to yourself. It's getting embarrassing now

I love the made up story to try back up your sexist attitude. Quick hint, do not say anything like this in public or you won't have many friends at all.

The issue here is the support from her party/bosses. Instead of trying to help the woman they decide to mental abuse her and drive her out of the party. That is the problem.

A woman should never have to quit her job because she is having a baby.

If this was my company, the person who made the comment would be fired on the spot. I mean fired, everything taken off them and walked out the door never to return

Then the manager would be fired plus a whole HR review to find out why the woman was treated like this. The best Sinn Fein could say, well we tried to give her a laptop.

I see the usual SF supporters are online now across social media and calling VAW all sorts of disgusting names. The whole party from top to bottom sinks and this is just another story which proves it. Instead of looking into the issue, like every other party would do, they have gone on a full on character assassination on the woman. Too stupid to see that Sinn Fein knew all about her when they put her forward.

To me I don't like the person politics, I think from day 1 she should have donated the money she owed the charity to any charity to get rid of the story but this carry on is terrible and nobody deserves it

Ahh the "I know someone...."

If this was a one off, but this is another in a long long line of bullying issues in Sinn Fein.

Sends an awful message to women in Ireland that if they get pregnant it is acceptable to Sinn Fein to force them out of their jobs, what is worse their supporters seem to think the same.

Worrying times in Ireland if this is what we have to look forward to with a Sinn Fein led government
