Letter to the Editor: Crucial for media to call out racism and bigotry

Your editorial lifted the spirits — ‘Remittance comment controversy: A shameful misuse of our parliament’ (Irish Examiner, November 14). It is crucial now that the media plays a full part in calling out bigotry of all kinds and most especially when the culprits are masquerading as public representatives.

Our political parties must also now resolve to expel any member who utters racism or bigotry of any kind. Members of the public must also act by simply refusing to give a vote to any candidate or party which shows any tolerance for prejudice of any kind.
