In the interview, available to read in full in the current issue of Hot Press, the Kerry TD says he believes Noah's Ark is a fact, and helps explain climate change; that he is uncomfortable with gay couples raising children and that he would shoot an intruder if he broke into his home.

In a remarkable, wide-ranging, thoughtful and often entertaining interview, the Kerry TD also talks about:

– How Facebook users are helping criminals

– Why prostitution might be a problem in Waterford, but not Kerry

– Why he voted against same sex marriage

– His views on abortion and the 8th Amendment

– When drink driving can be okay and should be allowed

– Being depicted as an "eejjt from Kerry" in the media

– And the accusation that he goes to too many funerals.
