  1. I seen the Gardai forming up outside this morning on my way to work. Looked like a military operation to remove a few homeless squatters. Do we, as a society, really believe there should be 60 or 70 Gardai queuing up to pester a couple of homeless people when we can’t get even one Garda to show up and sort out the anti-social behaviour in the likes of Cherry Orchard? Is that where we are right now as a country?

  5. As everyone else says the scumbag joyriders deserve this kind of intimidation not homeless squatters and activists during a housing crisis my god. Or make residents/tourists feel safe while walking O’Connell street maybe lads?

  7. Is that the same crowd that were cancelling thousands of 999 calls on an industrial scale?

    Same crowd that when being investigated for the potential canceling of 999 calls for invalid reasons, closed ranks and attempted to frustrate the investigation, which then resulted in none of the Gardaí responsible for this insane mess not being fired or sanctioned for their actions. And they seem to have found the time to enable a land hoarder to protect their tidy investment. Odd..

  8. So let me understand this… We can have an actual force for homeless squatters but for the scumbags on the luas or stealing cars we can’t do anything. Is that right?

  11. So we have enough cops to carry out raids like this and more to drive politicians around but not enough to tackle antisocial behavior.

    You have to hand it to them for finding the easy rackets.

  16. It’s fucking depressing seeing people having to live like this.i’d say it’s bloody freezing there during the night.horrible situation to be in.

  17. they love harassing homeless people and ruining their lives even more but do fuck all about the crime and gangs in cities. I don’t care how much downvotes I get. the gardai are the biggest useless shower of bastards ever

  23. This is beyond pathetic, what the fuck are the courts and Garda at. The building has been left to go to ruin, these people have nothing and they still being kicked on the way down. What a hopeless hole of a country Ireland has become for the poor and working classes.

  24. Meanwhile I was assaulted in public place, called Gardai WHILE assault was happening and they did not show up for 40 minutes after. The next day they called me asking if I was ok. lol

  26. It’s pretty eye-opening yo see so many people openly showing their contempt for homeless people in the comments.

    Shameful stuff, just plain gross.

  27. Hahahahaha they’ve no problem finding resources for evictions eh? Same at Connolly House a few months back… But you ram one car in Ballyfermot…. They’re nowhere to be found

  29. What’s stopping the homeless leaving for a week (owner locks up) and just breaking back in and setting up again?

  32. They absolutely hate being recorded, you can see they are all making a beeline for her and then the first pig who gets to her swipes at the phone.

    All the anti social behavior that goes in the city, if you got robbed or beat up it would take hours for a gardai to get to you so you could report it. And they have a whole platoon to mess with the homeless.

  33. I guess this deployment of cops cost more then properly house these people until they manage to get back on their feed.

  35. Geared up to the teeth to move homeless people but completely helpless to tackle the gangs in Dublin. Ridiculous.
