So what happens to that stuff? Homeless guy has a tent, council take it and throw it in the skip? Or can he go and get it?
Who got the court order this time?
Just sad to see tbh. Poor people.
And where do they go now? With less than they had before. That’s awful fucking hell
Fair play, there were many reported issues with antisocial behaviour, open drug dealing and crime. This should help the local residents sleep easier
There are no homeless in Ireland, Kathleen
How true is it that there are someone for homeless people to go but they choose not to?
Is it true that people sleeping on the street basically choose to because they don’t want to sleep in shelters for whatever reason?
Out of curiosity what is the actual law on camping? I know people who go camping in mountains and forests, which they’ve said is allowed (I always thought you had to be in an official camp site). So is it just near towns/housing estates that is illegal or were they bullshitting me?
Well I think they should attack the lower classes, first with bombs, and rockets destroying their homes, and then when they run helpless into the streets, mowing them down with machine guns. And then of course releasing the vultures.
I know these views aren’t popular, but I have never courted popularity.
The amount of Gardai to move on some homeless, but try spotting one in the city centre when some ‘youth’ is grinding the lock off your bike.
Destroy tent City… soon followed by a rooftop dance to signal that they “stand with the Ukraine” .
I hope they set up a new camp outside the homes of Micheal Martin and Leo Vradkar’s
Is that happening now, as in one of the wettest days for a while and even more rain forecast for the coming days.
Just to point out, I heard about this happening from a fella that I know at AA. He lost everything in his tent, his family photos, his dogs ashes, momentos his daughter had made for him. All dumped by DCC, along with a punch in the jaw from a council worker as he tried to retrieve the items from the back of the van. It’s a sad state of affairs to take everything from those who have nothing.
I remember hearing everyone is one bad day or one wrong decision away from homelessness, have patience, compassion and respect
Just go rent an apartment for 2k you losers
Good.
I’m sure the people encouraging tents on the street would be very happy to have a little gang of homeless drug addicts living in tents in front of their house since they’re so progressive.
We have girl at our house who was kicked out last night by her mum in sligo.
We don’t know what to do. She can only stay one more night here but then I’m on my own with my youngest daughter. This girl goes to school with my older daughter and we live near her work. She has no other family.
Can’t help but think at this time of year there’s about a thousand more pressing things for the Garda to be doing, or maybe it’s because the camp would be a likely target for gangs of kids with fireworks on Halloween night?
Seems they are always faster to act towards homeless than actual criminals because there’s literally zero accountability towards their actions in these cases
Proud moment for those Gardai. I’m sure this was how they saw themselves whilst training in Templemore.
Doing us all proud lads.

I’m not sure if these folks were actually homeless. This was a protest by a crowd called the Revolutionary Housing League. They are affiliated with a group called Anti Imperialist Action Ireland
They do that in my city in Canada too. They don’t address the homelessness issue, they just tell people that they can’t be homeless here
Remove the tent and the homeless problem is solved? I don’t know enough about the area to know whether or not this camp was causing problems, but it just seems like such a bad measure in the face of homelessness.
They should set up in the Cherry Orchard and tell people they had “rough upbringings”. It’s actually illegal for the Guards to approach such a combination.
Good. Look, everyone deserves help when life throws them a lemon but you can’t just check out and start camping in the streets.
The homeless people in this video being arrested are members of the Revolutionary Housing League who have been taking over vacant properties in Dublin to use as homes for the homeless and as community centres.
I get it, they’re homeless so they do need help, but if i tried to set up a tent wherever i want in Dublin i too would be treated this way
You won’t see RTE showing it on the six o clock news.
Out of sight out of mind.
Council get called to dispose of the tents.
Stake holders and charities and residents do the rest.
Force people out of homes, and then punish them for not having one. Great way to solve the problem.
Whatever about the core problem of homelessness. It’s imperative to disrupt these encampments. We don’t want to end up like Vancouver or LA. It’s hard to see yes but important to maintain for the sake of law and order.
Such a bullshit post. The camp is a hotsppt for drug use assaults of passers-by and now a no go for kids who played there. Homeless or otherwise you don’t get to destroy your surrounding and smoke crack where kids play and get a pat on the back.
Thank god! This is a landlords nightmare.
A one bedroom apartments in Dublin they can’t overcharge and cram 15 people into!
Will someone think about the landlords!!

Happy to see that, I used to live beside one and it was a nightmare, always full of drug addicts and needles, including very agressive people towards me and my gf both when she was pregnant and having a walk with the buggy.
Eventually we had to move, it wasn’t a safe place to be around. I can tell more stories (burnt motorbikes, people wanking, the list goes on and on)
Probably this will get downvoted to hell, but I still so happy for the families living around that specific place.
This said, the government probably should take another approach/direction to try to solve the root cause.
Great timing when there is an Orange Alert for rain and flooding
So how does this magically solve the problem?
Where are they supposed to go, in the long run, is it cheaper to hire all these people to take their stuff away than to help them.
Handcuffed for being homeless. GEEZUZ
This is really heart breaking. The housing policy is pushing thousands to the street, then this. If the govt had the same dose of determination, people wouldnt have to live on the street. Fight back, people.
Those tents are still there right now. Just drove by no more than 10 minutes ago
what a terrible crime being poor must be to warrant this. how unloved did you have to be as a child to be able to go along with this?
Homeless Problem solved /s
Why improve the housing situation when it’s more fun to routinely punish the. for being homeless, right Dublin?
Oh sweet the gardaí are finally doing something about …… homeless people being alive.
Those wankers
Take the homeless too, not just the tents
Garda’s just doing what they are good at 🤡
This, the day after they announce 500 new modular homes for refugees, this country disgusts me
Homeless people don’t disappear into thin air, if you evict them. They have to go somewhere.
Class war visualised
Can’t afford a house, can’t afford to rent, can’t be homeless. What exactly are people supposed to do in that situation?
But where can they go?
