We can bicker all we want about who did it, why they did it, why they'll do it again tomorrow; this is an abject failure of policing in the state and the buck stops with Helen McEntee and Simon Harris.

The arsonists have literally shared videos of themselves inside the building. At what stage should they, at the very least, be brought in for questioning?

  1. Video doing the rounds reportedly showing yer man doing it, and he’s making threats to those sharing it.

  2. Mcentee is incompetent and should not be in the role, but a minister for justice should not be interfering in police investigations for any reasons. Minister for justice appoints a Garda commissioner, who is also overseen by a policing body who make recommendations on policy for the Garda. Questions on Garda investigations go to the commissioner who will must likely say ‘they do not comment on ongoing investigations’.

    And I have absolutely no love for Mcentee. But you left Roderic O’Gorman off the list, the minister whose department are in charge of selecting the site, I believe.

  3. Thought I read it was the 5th fire in as many days.

  4. Policing is a for-profit industry. If the actions don’t immediately impact on the profits of the government’s backers, it doesn’t require policing.

  5. Probably all moved up to Dundalk to cause shite up there that’s why it’s a small crowd

  6. If scum like this get to decide who stays in their area I reckon citizens should have the ability to have anyone with more than one conviction removed from their area.

    I means it’s only fair, protecting local communities and all that.

  7. Maybe one day people will stop going to vote for the same useless politicians. And by ‘the same’ I mean no matter who you will vote for, things will stay the same.

    Shits have been happening for years now and nothing’s happening to counteract it

    It doesn’t take a smart person to see that it will only get worse soon as others will follow what’s happening in coolock.

  8. The amount of faces I recognise in these videos is pretty hilarious
