Former X-rated performer says p**s off to claim she’s a bigot

A serving garda was filmed having sex with Carla in a porn video which went viral on the internet in 2017.

The scandal saw the officer suspended from duty but he ultimately won an appeal claiming unfair dismissal.

Carla, who lives in the area, said she did not have an issue with foreign women and children being housed - but insisted her concern was the arrival of 50 single men into the town.

She added: “People could not believe 50 men could be dropped in overnight.

“That’s not fair. I said we cannot have males that we don’t have a history of with cultures very different to ours and it’s going to take a lot of work for them to adjust to our culture.”

The initial plan involved using 12 rooms to accommodat­e 50 adult male asylum seekers.

Since the protest, the Department of Integratio­n confirmed the hotel will now be used to house families and kids – sparking claims of victory from the protesters.

Carla said: “I see it as a victory but I am getting so much hate now from the far right because I apparently didn’t do enough. What else could I have done? We got what we wanted.”

Foreign Minister Micheal Martin insisted the move was not a U-turn and said the Government would seek to find alternativ­e accommodat­ion for the male asylum seekers. He added: “It makes sense as we engage to refine how we locate and settle people but it will still be used to facilitate asylum seekers.

“People cannot take the law into their own hands.”

Nobody in the town has said anything bad to me. The only negative has been online
