I'm the journalist Ruth is talking about We decry when things like this happen in the US. You can agree or disagree with people, but we have a free press in this country and I'll defend any Press Council members' right to ask politicians questions

I refused to answer a question on immigration from the Gript just now on the #Dáil plinth. He immediately was rallied around by a few pol corrs, that he was a member of the press council. If some journalists want to normalise them fine, but I’m not feeding their hate-mongering.

When this quote was put to Soc Dems leader @HollyCairnsTD by @TodaywithClaire, she said that she would rather be in a party that abandoned Stephen Donnelly than a party that abandoned the principles of James Connolly….

A spokeswoman for Labour tells the @IrishMirror: “Among the many differences between us and the Social Democrats is that the Labour Party was founded by James Connolly. The Social Democrats were founded by Stephen Donnelly.”

I would defend The Ditch in similar situations, Martin. And I have praised them for their work. This argument isn't really about Gript. I would have done the same for other outlets too
