Summarization
A scandal arose when Áine Lawlor allegedly labeled all #IrelandisFull protesters as "Far Right" on @Request to Explain; Justice Minister Simon Harris stated that the Gardaí had issued 964 fines to airlines last year for not properly checking passengers' documents; Sinn Féin spokespersons Pearse Doherty and Claire Kerrane, Labour leader Ivan Abacik, and Micheal Martin TD are featured on @Request to Explain today. while discussing issues such as targeting those who are struggling or lack of accessibility in places for people with special needs, a debate over who is responsible for ensuring traveller documents arose. It is also debatable how far these fines will go in resolving these issues.
