Many citizens and parents in Ireland are deeply concerned with Roderic O'Gorman being Minister for Children, Disability, Equality and Integration. We think his association with Peter Tatchell makes him wholly unsutiable to the position of Minister of Children and we wish for him to resign so someone more suitable can take the position. Anyone associated with Peter Tatchell should not hold the position of Minister of Children period.

Roderic o Gorman has been photographed with Peter Tatchell describing him as legendary and fellow green on June 30th 2018 on his Twitter. No Minister of children should have such associations with Peter Tatchell who wrote a full chapter called 'Questioning ages of majority and ages of consent' in the 1986 book Betrayal of Youth who's then editor was Warren Middleton a vocal activist for the Paedophile information Exchange. He also wrote a letter to the British Guardian in 1997 stating 'It is time society acknowledged the truth that not all sex involving children is unwanted abusive and harmful' He also wrote an article in the British Guardian 24/9/2009 titled 'Don't criminalise young sex' A minister of children should have no such associations and should do the honourable thing and resign. We also are alarmed at the response of Dublin Lord Mayor Hazel Chu tweeting on 3/6/2020 'Well our new minister is doing something right if these idiots are after him'. All should be calling for him to resign and a total and full investigation into the matter and not the cover up Hazel and the media wants. His position is untenable and we ask he do the honourable and right thing and resign from his Ministerial duties.

The feedback continues to arrive daily. Silence from the minister remains the only response we have received.

I feel he does not have the best interests for our children. How can someone who wants to change the law so under 16year olds do not need parental consent for transgender operations have the best interests for our children.

This person is clearly not qualified or ever will be qualified to care for children, he must resign.

This man must resign immediately as minister for children. He is unfit for the position and keeps company with open pedophile apologists.

A Children's Minister who affiliates with pedophiles and pedophile sympathisers. Not a good route to go down in the PROTECTION of children
