"The Facebook post has since been removed, but has been described as 'mocking in tone' by Social Democrats TD for Wicklow, Jennifer Whitmore."
"Leane Lifley, chair of Wicklow Camogie, also posted her own Facebook response, which stated: 'At a time when we are engaging in serious discussions about access, fairness, and respect, to see equality reduced to a joke is, quite frankly, sickening.'"
