Mary Lou McDonald ’s comment is GUBU at its very best

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald’s comment about what Gerard Hutch said about illegal immigrants is remarkable.

Canvassing in the upcoming Dublin Central bye election she said:  “We can’t, comment on other people’s comments.”

Of course she can. Doesn’t Mary Lou comment on the comments of other people every day in and outside Dáil Éireann.

It is GUBU at its very best.

Grotesque, Unbelievable, Bizarre, and Unprecedented was the comment made by Conor Cruise O’Brein in criticism of then taoiseach Charles J Haughey in 1982.
