Default Limerick's new deputy mayor ‘racially abused’

Limerick's new deputy mayor ‘racially abused’


July 7, 2020

LIMERICK’s new deputy mayor has been targetted with what has been described as “repulsive” and “racist” abuse on the Internet.

Fianna Fail member Abul Kalam Azad Talukdar won the support of 31 of 39 councillors to become the first Muslim to hold a top political job on Limerick City and County Council.

But no sooner had he been elected, right-wing commentator Gemma O’Doherty issued a series of comments on the social media site Twitter, which led to a big debate and what many felt were racist comments by some.
