McDonnell, a builder from Newbridge, last night claimed the Irish were in danger of dying out because Irish women were not breeding enough.
Last night he said: "It's all about the women of Ireland. If we don't have women breeding, we die out as a breed and we don't want that to happen."
Defending the remarks this morning on Kildare Today, he said he is from a farming background and that's the language he uses.
Tom said he is concerned about school places in the area.
He also said Ireland needs to control immigration to ensure there are enough services for available for local people.
He said there is a difference between controlled immigration and anti-immigration.
He said people are being forced out of Ireland due to high rents.
He said he is not far-right.
