Senator Jimmy Harte stayed while working in Dublin in a family owned property in this area. Furthermore he has a family in a very distressed state at his bedside. He is a doting father and a committed family person. If this happened to your father how would you like to see such needless and unnecessary commentary.

View more pollsPoll: Do you support protests and blockades by farmers?
FARMERS ARE CURRENTLY staging a protest outside a major Aldi distribution centre in Naas, Co Kildare.
Organised by the Irish Farmers’ Association, the protest began at 7am and is expected to last all day.
Farmers are blocking exits and entrances at the site. IFA President Joe Healy said farmers are sick of “being short-changed” by meat factories and retailers.
The action comes after a taskforce was agreed by beef farmers and representatives of the beef processing sector in October, following weeks of protests.
So what do you think? Do you support these protests by beef farmers?

Good man Colm – such utter s##t been spoken here – whether u agree or not with Jimmy’s politics or the fact he is a politician, some of the bull been spoken here is uncalled for – he is as you say Colm a dedicated family man – with a lovely family – get well soon Jimmy.
Agree. Respect to him and his family and friends. Hope he gets well soon
Absolutely. There’s a time for politics and there’s a time for basic humanity.
Agreed Colm, some of the stuff written here is difficult to read
Exactly. So glad you made that comment Colm. People need to consider the family first of all and not make jokes or ill-conceived political protests while a man is ill is hospital.
