A Fianna Fáil MEP has hit back at a senior Polish politician that attacked Ireland for improving LGBT rights. Billy Kelleher's intervention comes after former Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski claimed Ireland has become a "Catholic wilderness with rampant LGBT ideology". He said: "Mr Kaczynski, Ireland is a modern, progressive country where people can be who they are or who they want to be. "You can be LGBT and Catholic, Catholic and not LGBT, LGBT and not Catholic, or none of the above." You can be #LGBT & catholic, catholic & not LGBT, LGBT & not catholic, or none of the above.
