Letter to the Editor: Noel Grealish has brought the Dáil into disrepute

Galway West TD Noel Grealish shamelessly suggests that some money sent home by Nigerian immigrants in Ireland may have come from crime or fraud (Irish Examiner report November 13). This allegation made under Dáil privilege was not substantiated by any evidence and, whether he intended it or not, his allegation is adding fuel to the raging fires of racism.

He stated that €3.54bn was remitted from Ireland by Irish-resident Nigerians over the past five years.
