“Foreign nationals” are needed for jobs that Irish people have “gone too posh for”, such as working in McDonald's, the veteran criminal said

Dublin Central by-election candidate Gerard ‘The Monk’ Hutch has suggested that “illegal” immigrants should be “interned in the Curragh”.

As the veteran criminal laid out his political policies for the first time, Hutch said that he had no issue with “genuine” immigrants “bringing their toolbox to work”, as he claimed “foreign nationals” are needed for jobs that Irish people have “gone too posh for”, such as working in McDonald's.
