Today is election day and Presidential candidate Sean Gallagher has replied (late and with apologies) to the questions we posed about his views on youth and community work and his level of involvement. We also asked for his reaction to community worker Rita Fagan's criticisms of his record as a community worker when she spoke on TV3. Mr. Gallagher deflected the criticism saying, "I would never pass judgement on the work of others or their commitment to the sector."
The full interview is published here verbatim:
