Possibly the final, most bizarre and degrading thing I& #39;ll ever write on Twitter.

This last week people kept calling me "Ross", a smear campaign orchestrated by @williamhboney1 and others against @AlanFarrell

It has been surreal and debilitating. I& #39;ve had enough of it.
The accusation is I am a 21 year old former intern of Mr. Farrell and I am being PAID by Fine Gael to write positive tweets on the Irish coronavirus response.

People have stalked and abused the intern who I& #39;m supposed to be, to the point he locked his account.

Bullying.
First of all - I wish I was 21.

Secondly - I& #39;m an adult, not a 2-year-old. If I supported any political party I& #39;d say so.

Thirdly - I& #39;m not paid by Soros or FG.

Lastly - I believe the Irish response has been excellent.

People have tried to bully me out of that opinion.
Yesterday I was having a conversation on the complexity of caring for dementia. I wrote a very clumsily worded tweet as part of a conversation on how hard it is to prevent spreads

Now apparently because "I& #39;m Ross", HE got some of the abuse for it.
I& #39;ve claimed I& #39;m grateful to my cardiac surgeon who saved my life. I& #39;ve written threads about growing up in early 80s Ireland.

Very weird thing to lie about being 40 and having heart problems but apparently it& #39;s a "Fine Gael cover story".

*Please* watch this to end.
I don& #39;t have the health or the money to sue Mr McMahon and the others pushing these smears but if I had either I would do so.

He has defamed Mr Farrell, who I& #39;ve never met, and caused me and that poor Ross fella distress.

Why, I& #39;ll never EVER understand.
I expected Ireland to have 2,500 dead by now. That was after assessing our starting situation with R0 = 10+, our ICU capacity, and the low initial compliance on social distancing around the 15th.

The Irish people responded magnificently and we have less than 800 dead. RIP https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź’š" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart">
Tony Holohan, Paul Reid and Simon Harris have been magnificent but not perfect.

"18 coronaviruses" is something I& #39;m sure Simon& #39;s friends won& #39;t let him forget...

I think our front line are superb people, just the best of the best.

That& #39;s my opinion.
I am biased towards Ireland because I love this country.

I am biased towards the HSE for saving my life.

Pretty fair and understandable - but I& #39;ve made plenty of criticism and praise when I felt either was objective.

I believe that& #39;s called being a fair minded adult.
The amount of abuse I have received for believing Ireland is doing well in a pandemic has been a toxic and draining experience.

I try mute and block people. Some set up new accounts to DM me more abuse.

For what? A positive opinion of Ireland?
Coronavirus hasn& #39;t been easy for me either. I keep everything personal off Twitter but I lost someone very special in my life on April 13th and couldn& #39;t go see her at the end or go to her funeral.

I remained objective about Ireland& #39;s response despite my own family suffering.
The last 24 hours I& #39;ve tried to go through Twitter, I& #39;ve tried a solicitor I can& #39;t really afford, I& #39;ve tried Guards and Samaritans as a last resort to relieve pressure.

All for believing Ireland is doing well.

You owe Mr Farrell and that young man an apology.

BULLY.
