I do like reviving an old post but I do have a legitimate reason for resurrecting this thread.
An Irish passport holder originally from Belarus and who left Ireland with his family in 2013 has been captured by Kurdish fighters in Syria. He was fighting for the vile evil genocidal Isis organisation. Leo Varadkar, commenting said he would receive Irish consular support just as every other passport holder is entitled to.
What the taoiseach omitted to say is that this is no tourist caught up in a holiday accident. This is a fanatic who has no historical link with Ireland who then leaves us to fight for a cause that he had no reason to associate with.
An Irish Moslem representative made the most important point of all today when he said the Taoiseach must lead. He must point out that those who get citizenship and then abuse it , in this case by terrorist acts should lose their citizenship and be sent back to their original homes. I was pleasantly surprised that a moslem cleric said this. No Irish politician would have dared.
There are an estimated 6 Irish passport holders fighting in Syria.
