Independent Roscommon TD Michael Fitzmaurice has denied that comments he made in the Dáil last week had incited violence.
On Wednesday during a Dáil debate on the Anti-Evictions Bill he had warned that “Irish people need to wake up, especially if people are coming from the North. We must take them on and stop what is happening.”
