Mary Lou McDonald paid tribute to late Dublin GAA player Jim Stynes during an emotional speech where she said rish immigrants are being ‘let down’.
The Sinn Fein leader, who was speaking at the National Press Club of Australia on Wednesday, said that Stynes was an inspiration to those trying to make a life for themselves abroad. She also spoke of the Irish in Australia who were "robbed of a life" at home.
She "Jim came to these shores in 1984 and, as you know, became one of the AFL’s all-time greats, winning a Brownlow Medal in 1991,” Ms McDonald said.
