Naas Mayor will not deal with 'black Africans'

A complaint has been made to gardaí over comments by FG Mayor of Naas Darren Scully, who said he would refuse to represent constituents of African origin.

A complaint has been made to gardaí over comments by Fine Gael Mayor of Naas Darren Scully

Speaking to Clem Ryan on KFM's 'Kildare Today', Cllr Scully said he made his decision based on what he described as the ''aggressive attitude'' he has experienced when representations were made to him by ''black Africans''.

He said he would in future pass any representations from Africans on to other public representatives.
However, he stressed that this was his own view and not that of Naas Town Council.

A special meeting of Naas Town Council has been called this evening to discuss the matter.
Mayor Scully is expected to attend the meeting.

Mr Scully said that over his seven years as a councillor his experiences of dealing with "black Africans" were not good.

He said most of the issues had to do with housing and he had been met "with aggressiveness and bad manners".

Mr Scully said he has always made it clear that he would speak his mind and that following his comments last night he received "extremely nasty and abusive emails and text messages".

However, he insisted that he made his decision based on the experiences that he has had "with every single case over seven years".
This afternoon, Labour's Aodhán Ó Riordáin made a complaint under the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act in relation to the comments.

A statement from Fine Gael said the views expressed by Cllr Scully do not reflect the views of Fine Gael and they are not party policy........

Dont get me wrong the guy was an idiot for saying what did on air and gave a sweeping generalization of a particular people from his area but to pillar the guy for this seems a bit over the top to me.

I agree. It was an idiot thing to say. But the PC brigade and that Labour Councillor who went to the guards.....seriously two extremes IMO. And the mayor may have a point. Maybe he is just telling it as it is?

No, he's a gobshite. I'm sure that plenty of white Irish people have been just as rude to him. Will he stop meeting them, too?

'To be fair' you're talking absolute shit.

I would be an FG supporter myself and all I can say is this guy is an utter gobshite!

Maybe some Africans are rude to him but I am sure some Irish people are rude also, the generalisation is the part I have a problem with.....

...a bit like babesdolan above saying all Irish are racist!

I am not making excuses for him. Maybe he should have just said he won't deal with aggressive people.
