TD Ken O’Flynn has launched a scathing attack on Simon Harris accusing the Tánaiste of having a “Pearl clutching tantrum.” Following a question on benefits for Ukrainian and IPAS refugees “No one buys the tough guy routine, Simon.” Independent Ireland TD for Cork North-Central Ken O’Flynn has launched a scathing attack on Tánaiste Simon Harris after he sought answers to questions around the use of public funding for Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection and international protection applicants. Deputy O’Flynn was speaking in the Dáil earlier today, after he had requested the Tánaiste to investigate claims that emerged online yesterday, when a Waterford based business owner took to social media to highlight how the Department of Social Protection were picking up the tab for car and engine repairs for some Ukrainians resident in Ireland. The Tánaiste responded by repeatedly accusing Deputy O’Flynn of ‘dog-whistling’: “God help the poor Tánaiste. I am sure he thought he was being fierce tough in his reply, but to be honest, his preening moral posturing had all the savagery of being mauled by a gummy kitten,” said Deputy O’Flynn.
