Online petition asks Taoiseach to block election of councillor as mayor of Limerick over 'racist' remarks
Hundreds of people have signed a petition asking Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to block the election of one of his party's members as Limerick mayor over "racist" remarks.
Cllr Stephen Keary, the father-in-law of Junior Minister Patrick O'Donovan, suggested welfare recipients from Eastern Europe see Ireland as "easy pickings".
