Then do something about it lads; the dogs on the street know who these rabble rousing scumbags are.
Then how about being dictated by common sense?
If there is severe shortage of resources, what is the most logical step to carry out if you can not easily increase supply?
Isn’t that what the government is doing. They don’t listen
It’s not a small group that’s opposed to it
It’s not just a small violent group though.
It’s not just a one isolated violent group though. The man is out of touch.
One of the problems with politicians is that they keep regurgitating the same bullshit lines and eventually they believe their own crap.
The vast majority of the public are against uncontrolled mass immigration and totally warping the demographics of an area.
Kind of inviting a large, violent group to reach out?
This kind of framing really rubs me the wrong way.
There are locals from the area on this sub who say peaceful protesters had been out for months before the violence started.
They were ignored.
Like what is it going to take to make the government listen to working class citizens.
Jesus I’d love to slap some common sense into that man and his cohorts.
Absolute fuckin bellends of the highest order.
I’m not with the fuckers setting crap on fire, but this is ridiculous.
If the government wants to stand on an argument that the majority of the country want this, then there needs to be an immediate referendum.
Virtually no one is accepting of the current system. Not that I’ve seen, anyway.
The government gaslighting us
“We will plow ahead with our new IPA center industry”
They want to put a shanty town into a factory and act like the good guys. The soldiers of compassion defending it then. Boggles the mind
Most of the comments here seems to be saying we should listen to the violent arsonists.
Are people gone mad? No one denies there’s a logistical challenge in terms of asylum accommodation but the groups organising these protests never seem genuinely worried about services
Can’t be upsetting the people making a fortune from the migration crisis.
They say this but then also will not listen to the larger groups of peaceful protestors
This is playing perfectly into government hands. By framing protests and genuine concern as fringe lunatics it gives them carte blanche to keep the asylum gravy train rolling, enriching their mates and putting massive pressure on public services.
Time and again I have been saying how these kind of statements and some of their other actions (like allowing a single , well connected GAA family to make €130mn in tax payer money off of the migration crisis in just three years, or mysteriously spending €30k per week on essentially nothing along Grand Canal) will only help drive people with legitimate concerns into the arms of the far right, and time and again the government make it almost seem like they want this to happen.
Obviously they don’t, but for those who have followed the rise of the far right in parts of Europe and the US it really does feel like they are following a playbook of how to achieve this.
Yeah, just ignore the people voices, like in the RTE scandal…
u/KellyTheBroker blocked me but yes we are going to have an election soon.

Ireland has the highest no of applicants per capita in the EU now. Mehole can bully local communities all he likes but the vast majority of the country believe we have too many coming here.
Mehole and co need to implement measures similar to Denmark and other countries to deter the economic migrants. Billions being spent on accommodating the scam artists. When a very large portion of the budget is being spent on this clusterfcuk the people of Ireland should have a say and not have it left in the hands of EU lapdogs like Martin.
Only a small minority are far right haters BUT there is a huge population of genuinely concerned citizens and the government are completely ignoring this… it’s almost like you can’t have a concern around migration now and not be labelled a far right racist, this is where it becomes problematic.
Anyone who genuinely believes Ireland can continue to grow at the rate we are and it’s not an issue is so far removed from the problems we face and will face over the next decade.
Yes we need houses, schools, hospitals but they will take years and years to build, by that stage we will still be chasing our tails trying to catch up because the population will have continued to grow during the years we were building to accommodate the current population.
Or the public in general…
This will lead to more people being annoyed and disenfranchised. The voices will grow louder until it won’t be smaller no more. History is repeating itself…
Tag line says rule of law has to apply yet we seem to select what parts we want.
The protestors using violence are wrong but so is also not enforcing immigration policy and having an open door because of it.
If they start enforcing the rule of law it will take allot of the sting out of the tail.
Do a referendum see how small they are?
“Mr Martin said unprecedented numbers of people were now coming into the Republic to seek asylum – “treble the number that were coming in 2019″.
Furthermore, some 106,000 Ukrainians had arrived since the Russian invasion of their country almost 2½ years ago, down to about 83,000 in the Republic at present.”
Wow, it’s almost like the conditions here were disproportionately favourable compared to other countries 🙄 idiot.
The building has an [asbestos roof](https://old.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/1eb6qse/court_hears_of_suspected_drone_use_in_coolock/les2b7t/?context=3) and is a danger to everyone living nearby now, because once it is set alight it could collapse and spread asbestos across loads of housing estates.
There have been absolutely loads of arson attacks across the industrial sites there over the years – with a collapsed warehouse sending a huge cloud of dust over all nearby housing estates in the past.
This is the primary issue now. The site is a danger to everyone living nearby, and the asbestos needs to be removed _right now_ before the site is burned down.
Micheal Martin is _insane_ to still be pushing this when it’s creating this danger to everyone in the area!
Drop the fucking IPA center and dismantle that asbestos roof ASAP.
I agree but why don’t the clowns in government do the democratic thing and actually talk to the citizens about their problems with this. All they do is do things without any dialogue. Can’t blame people for being angry
But what about a large, non-violent group with reasonable concerns?
Only stoking the fire, using asylum seekers to line their buddies pockets while framing any criticism as genuine far right racism.
We need a revolution!!! These elitist fcukers are laughing at us!
Very foolish words. The state have already set themselves up for embarrassment when the local community succeed in preventing this centre from going ahead. Words like this only make the embarrassment so much worse.
And if nobody raised any of their concerns, the government would just push on anyway. What could is standing outside Leinster House with a placard that they’ll just walk on by and ignore every day. I don’t agree with what’s happening, but i would by lying if i said it wasn’t getting better results then standing outside with a sign.
This guy is so out of touch with the public sentiment. There has been protests happenning all over the country.
This cunt wastes Gardai resources to watch his house in Cork. Balding prick
Can we please stop using the term Far right. Anything slightly right of left, those who don’t agree with government is labelled as Far right. Wtf? They are not Nazis, just ordinary decent people concerned for their community regarding unvetted mostly men who are moving in. Who in their right mind wouldn’t be?
I’ve feeling despite a demand for change the general election will be a reshuffle. The government ff/fg will feel they have a mandate and push on with ipas centres. I’ll give it 2 years and we will see someone killed over this. Social media is driving old Republican sentament. At this stage it won’t take much for a few aging republicans from splinter groups to commit an act of domestic terrorism. Another’s large scale riot in Dublin is ready to go again if the government keeps this course.
