Fine Gael councillor Keith Redmond apologises for Page 3 ‘feminazis’ tweet

A Fine Gael councillor has been forced to apologise after tweeting his dismay at the demise of The Sun newspaper’s Page 3 feature with disparaging remarks about people who object to the use of topless models to sell newspapers.

Keith Redmond posted a tweet yesterday lunch time declaring: “Good work feminazis, you just made lots of fellow women unemployed because their work offended you #NoMorePage3.”

The dentist, who sits on Fingal County Council, immediately provoked a storm of criticism, but he initially responded by tweeting: “I can’t stand the sanctimonious.”
