Lets not allow Casey and his followers to wreck ‘Middle Ireland’

Middle Ireland is, by any comparison, a very good place in which to live. Let’s not allow Casey and his followers to wreck it, writes Victoria White.

I don’t accept that Peter Casey is, as he claims, the voice of ‘Middle Ireland’. Yes, 34% of the people voted against repealing the Eighth Amendment and yes, 51.9% voted against Repeal in Casey’s home county of Donegal.

No, these voters do not currently have any credible political leadership. Yes, 38% voted against marriage equality and there was probably a big overlap between those two groups of no-voters. It’s true that they have every right to their views, yet they are largely unheard by politicians and media.
