We can do without this kind of mutilation

SO now we are to have ritual circumcision of our citizens if some Irish medics and others have their way.

Ritual circumcision is not part of our culture and the sooner these asylum seekers and refugees realise this, the better.

They should respect our culture and stop abusing the goodwill of this country.

Would some of those seeking such a service in Ireland also advocate ritual circumcision for our female citizens?

I trust the South Eastern Health Board will forbid absolutely such barbarism and join the rest of the civilised world in bringing this vile mutilation to an end.
