The Department of Justice says it is planning to update legislation on "hate speech" after a post on Social Media directed at Lidl by Gemma O'Doherty challenged how a mixed-race couple used in their advertising campaign could be accurately described as "The Ryans". She also urged people to buy from Irish businesses:
“German dump @lidl_ireland gaslighting the Irish people with their multicultural version of ‘The Ryans’. Kidding no-one! Resist the Great Replacement wherever you can by giving this kip a wide berth. #ShopIrish #BuyIrish.”

Fiona Ryan (33), her fiance Jonathan Mathis (32) say they now may leave Ireland with their 22-month-old son if "hate-speech" legislation is not updated. Teary-eyed Fiona Ryan who works as an actor explained:
""If I have a 22 month year old son and he is not protected by law to be who he is, how can I stand in a country and live there. It just doesn't make sense to me. So yeah, I feel like if this issue isn't talked about or the government doesn't have any accountability for how their citizens can be treated, then yeah, I'm not going to live here".

The couple say the comments beneath Gemma O'Doherty's post left them fearful and angry.
RTÉ also referred to the couple as "the Ryans" but didn't explain why if the couple aren't even married yet or whether this counts as false advertising. It is unknown how much the couple were paid by Lidl to be put into the public domain in their advertising campaign.
The Irish Times is reporting that Ms Ryan and Mr Mathis met in London where they both worked but returned to Ms Ryan’s family ..
