1. This is what started the 1916 Easter Rising. At least, that’s the impression I get from Twitter.

2. Are they selling tickets for the show?

3. Fill them with sriracha

4. They can double up and put out the fires as well

5. 

6. These are metered water cannon trucks so FG can charge them for the water afterwards.

7. Ok, have they actually bought these ones or borrowed them like some aul one looking for sugar

8. This may seem harsh but the other plan was to deploy a fully armed Paul Mescal.

9. They are being filled with an otherwise harmless chemical which instantly dissolves Canada Goose jackets.

10. Yeah this will soothe tensions and definitely not escalate anything

11. Have to protect the transfer of wealth lads its the most important thing

12. If these lads get their way and asylum seekers are no longer welcome in the area…can regular people make a request that anyone with convictions isn’t allowed to live in our area?

    Seems like a slippery slope appeasing to so called ‘concerned residents’, there’s plenty of local people in my area with dozens of convictions, why am I expected to live among actual convicted criminals when these lads have others removed on the basis of racist stereotypes?

13. Delightful. Hopefully there is a live stream.

14. They could do with a shower.

15. Gavin Pipsqueak Pepper is squealing about foreigners coming in here and taking our jobs, taking our money, while he uses tax payers money to holiday in Spain with his family and get a hair transplant in Turkey.

16. *Grabs popcorn*

17. British Cannons to be used on Irish People = = This won’t end well.

    The Irish Elites are completely out of control = = The Irish People will deal with them as we have done with previous Out of Control Elites in Ireland.

18. Link for Livestream?

19. Nice to see some North/South cooperation.

20. They should use slurry.

21. Have to say a lot of shite in these comments, I am from that area originally and they have had peaceful protests for months and we’re just ignored by everyone nothing on the news about peaceful protests and objections then shit hits the fan your all acting like the entirety of the area are escaped convicts. I see a lot of people I know from growing up in that area on the march they are decent people with concerns that have been ignored.

22. you can say what you want about NI and the PSNI, but at least the PSNi doesnt screw around like our gardai do.

23. This will fix the root cause of the issue.

24. I was watching a TikTok live of the people protesting and your man streaming was going on and on about standing his ground and fighting the guards. As soon as the guards charged he ran away lol

25. I got banned from a sub for suggesting this

26. Ugly, but certain people might double think popping off like they did before.

27. I don’t think they understand that area of Dublin at all – those water cannon trucks may as well be two giant beacons.
