Twitter's having a field day with Breda O'Brien's latest interview

Breda O'Brien, one of the patrons of the Iona Institute and campaigner against same-sex marriage, is no stranger to controversy.

In an interview published today, Breda expressed a number of opinions that some may find, well, a bit backwards.

In said interview, she said that all unmarried couples, be they heterosexual or homosexual, should abstain from sex before marriage.

Breda O'Brien: 'While homosexuals live sexless lives, I plan to continue having sex, as God intended for me'. #MarRef

Really upsetting takeaway from today is that Breda O'Brien is from Waterford.

Breda's comments, and her discussion about her life as a teacher, also raised a few eyebrows.

"Breda O'Brien is Ireland's Katie Hopkins." That's actually an insult to Katie Hopkins... #YesEquality

Here's how to read between the lines of Breda O'Brien's article: gays can't be married. You can't have sex if you're unmarried. Get it now?

It seems, however, that Breda O'Brien wasn't the only subject of Twitter rage as columnist Niamh Horan, who conducted the interview, got a going over as well.

This week, Breda O'Brien took some time out of her hectic clown college timetable to sit down with famed alumnus Niamh Horan
