Holly Cairns Biography

Holly Cairns is one of the most popular and richest Teachta Dála who was born on November 4, 1989 in Cork, County Cork, Ireland.

Born on a farm in West Cork, Cairns is a farmer working in the family business, Brown Envelope Seeds, producing organic seeds. She has a first class honours MSc in Organic Horticulture from University College Cork. Her mother, Madeline McKeever, contested the 2004 Skibbereen Town Council election as a Green Party candidate. Madeline McKeever, noted as an environmental activist in West Cork: The People and the Place, was arrested in 2003 alongside Quentin Gargan for selling home produce on the street in Skibbereen. A subsequent court case found that their market stalls were legal, to the benefit of other would-be market traders.

In late February 2020, Cairns apologised for comments unearthed by the Irish news website Gript (which launched in 2019 with funding from the anti-abortion lobby) in tweets from 2012 and 2013. This included comments that said; “The pope is gonna get so cyber bullied, can’t wait. #pope #vatican” in December 2012 and “For every minute of air time taken up on the papal conclave I’m gonna get an abortion #pope”, on the day of the election of Pope Francis on 13 March 2013. Three days later Cairns wrote: “New paedophile-ring-leader Describes Gay Adoption as ‘Child Abuse’,” with a link to an article. Cairns is described as having sent a number of other tweets that were highlighted referencing aspects of the Catholic Church over 2012 and 2013, linking to articles, including one from TheJournal.ie which referenced the Pope’s former butler taking the stand in a leaks trial. “The pope feels abused…How awful!” she tweeted alongside a link to the article. Cairns, who was 22 when she sent the tweets, has issued an apology for her comments. “I apologise for the offence caused. The comments were made a long time ago, when I was a lot younger and the wording was inappropriate. The comments were made 8 years ago in the context of the Ireland we lived in then, where things like equal marriage and repeal were a long way off. I phrased things badly and apologise that my choice of words caused offence for some people.”” she told The Echo. She told Independent.ie that; “I was much younger and they weren’t the best- advised tweets” and “I regret any offence caused. I took them down for that reason. I am really sorry for any offence caused.”A spokeswoman for the Social Democrats said: “It was seven years ago, Holly was much younger and clearly they weren’t the best-advised tweets. She sincerely regrets any offence she may have caused.”
