Disputed content, for ease of reference.

To begin with, author of the hagiographic "Leo Varadkar - A Very Modern Taoiseach" is a completely off-topic claim. What does a review of Philip Ryan's book about someone else have to do with his claims about Violet-Anne Wynne? None whatsoever, that I can see.

Secondly, Following criticism on twitter from the National Women's Council of Ireland, who said "this sort of misinformation is dangerous, and puts women's lives at risk" is referenced solely by Twitter and is in direct violation of WP:BLPSPS which reads Never use self-published sources—including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and tweets—as sources of material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the article. It says as clear as day you cannot use tweets as sources of material about a living person (which Violet-Anne Wynne) if they are published by a third party.

Lastly, outgoing Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar said that this was "evidence that Sinn Fein... don’t believe in science" is referenced by Twitter and the Daily Express. Twitter has been dealt with above, and Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources says the Daily Express is a tabloid with a number of similarities to the Daily Mail. The quotation doesn't even add any value to the article, and as Sinn Féin point out Violet-Anne Wynne's views do not reflect party policy. Politicians criticise each other all the time, we are supposed to be writing an encyclopedia not documenting every slanging match on the internet. FDW777 (talk) 19:51, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
