Extreme group’s leaflets feature holocaust image

Leaflets criticising the TD who chairs the Dáil committee hearing opinion on legislating for the X case, and likening abortion to the Holocaust, are being sent to homes in Cork.

The leaflets were distributed in suburbs of Cork City over the past three days. They show a picture of bodies piled up alongside a picture of an aborted foetus, and state: “The German people let this happen because they didn’t speak out. Are you and I going to let this happen?” The group that sent the leaflets asks people contact Jerry Buttimer to express their viewpoint.

However, some recipients have mistakenly assumed that the leaflet had been delivered on Mr Buttimer’s behalf.
