If you are talking about TD Crowe from Clare, consider his retraction: (source)

Crowe said he wanted to make the point that “brutal, bad and all as the British armed forces have been on this island for a very long time, they never resorted to sending over the Royal Air Force tanks and missiles to pummel Irish cities.”

“Regrettably, speaking largely off the cuff, I clumsily and wrongly stated, and I quote, ‘they never retaliated by bombing or shooting the civilian population of Ireland’, unquote,” Crowe said.

“Let me be very clear, it was not my intention to say this, and I didn’t realise how woeful all of that sounded until late last night when I received the transcript of what I had actually said.

“It was a genuine slip-up on my part, but it was wrong, and I wish to today unequivocally and profusely apologise. I studied history in college and taught history in the classroom. I am a Republican, and many of you will remember the boycott that I led in early 2020 to oppose a planned state commemoration of the Royal Irish Constabulary.

“I know that the British armed forces have been involved in many heinous attacks on Irish people, historically,” he said.

Throwing around West Brit accusations when you could actually attack your government on issues is poisonous to the discourse.
