I’ll be there, please come out if you’re in the area! Times are hard, but they’re even harder because of the war. We’re in this together and we need to show that we support helping people in need even when it’s not easy.
Meanwhile in the real world, The Irish Times are reporting today that there is no more accommodation for incoming refugees over the next few days and they will be left homeless. Protests like these are actually harming migrants. The country is over capacity.
Unfathomably based
Let’s not go down the liberals v racist thing.
People are struggling, and they are the ones getting wrapped up by external forces to hate “The outsiders”
If people had secure housing and employment, then there would be little backlash for immigration.
We all know how this will go down. The young, middle cass or yuppy gentrified folks versus less educated “skangers” from lower incomes.
There is enough evidence out there to see that external forces are promoting this and giving verbal ammunition like “men of military age” and “unvetted” to scare people who are already struggling and fear more competition for fewer resources.
Protest for housing and hospitals and not be a cocky know it all do-gooder. That just creates more divide.
Based af.
Are the refugees in drimnagh Ukrainian though? From my understanding most of these protests have been organised against the housing of non Ukrainian peoples. ie Georgians, Albanians etc.
If they’re Ukrainian, fair play for supporting them, but I’d have reservations about supporting the housing of lots of Georgian, Algerian and Albanian men, who are not fleeing war, in a community….
It’s very easy to point fingers at people in these communities protesting calling them all racists etc. But what a lot of people commenting and “counter protesting” don’t understand is that communities like drimnagh, ballymun, ballyer and East Wall are populated by working class people. The vast majority of which don’t have access to private schooling, private health insurance, or other private services. So they don’t understand that these communities are protesting by in large due to having a further influx of people who will put pressure on already strained local services. Calling everyone who shows up the protesters racist is ridiculous.
A person from Dalkey can sit there and laugh at the silly poor people protesting in these areas, but they dont have to compete with population influx for hospital appointments, because they have private insurance. Their child doesnt have to compete for school places, because they’re guaranteed a spot in the same private school their daddy went to. They don’t have to compete with others on a housing list, thanks to their big inheritance from their parents….whereas for all of these things, working class communities are, whether you like it or not, further disadvantaged by any influx into their local areas.
Funny. I’ve seen these X For All protests in Ballymun, East Wall, Drimnagh and Ballybough. Wonder when Dalkey, Killiney, Blackrock, Terenure etc. For All is gonna be?
It’s easy to point fingers at working class people and claim they’re all racists etc. when there won’t be refugees and fake asylum seekers living near you and it won’t be yourself competing with them for housing and access to public services.

Our TDs are powerless to build houses if they want, where a few people can object and stop a development happening but a TD can allow hundreds of thousands of people into the country, negatively impacting them through the overwhelming of our housing and health services and we have no power to stop them.

Show the Albinos we support them!
Why are the middle class media painting working class people as racists ?
Anyone that shows up to this is an imbecile. They’ll be sleeping in tents at Dublin airport soon if they keep coming at the rate they’re coming, but hey, who cares about common sense and practicality as long as it follows the liberal agenda
This is why the far-right are fantastic for the government: They are the only group capable of amassing significant protests right now, and the only protests others manage are counter-protests against the far-right – instead of protesting against the housing/health/etc. crisis.
Perfect. Pretty much guaranteeing that the far-right get to completely waste everyone’s protest efforts from now on.
The government _love_ the far-right and the deliberate migrant/refugee crisis – it’s the perfect distraction, and guarantees the far-right gain from the governments political losses (which NeoLiberal’s are perfectly happy with, since neo-fascism/neo-feudalism is the end-game of NeoLiberalism).
Oh this is going to be a disaster.
Well done mate, great work.
Is there not an Ireland is full protest today r tmz at bluebell luas stop?
Imagine getting off at the wrong stop for your protest and just joining in the chants anyway.
LOL
utter delusion. This isn’t 2015 anymore. Get with reality.
Irish citizens are being left in the dirt homeless

What year do yiz reckon that this sub became Boards After Hours 2.0? I reckon there was a fairly big shift after the boards redesign a few years ago.
Brilliant. Fair play. Also god help your inbox.
This country really has gone to absolute shit
God help your in box before all the racist assholes DM you
People are quick to forget their own history. It’s disgusting.
Can I bring my Peugeot or is it a different type of rally?
Whose funding these protests? Surely Mr Harris will be looking into the backgrounds of these far left people?
Only joking before attacked.
This will be great for people wanting a few likes on insta.
Accomplish nothing but you can pretend you care.
Hope everyone attending can take one into their own home
Where are the suitable vacant properties for housing refugees in drimnagh? I’m reasonably familiar with tge area and its primarily residential.
Minister o gorman has no place for these people he invited to Ireland and all over Dublin tmrw people are gathering to tell them they are welcome. Welcome to sleep on our streets. Or if they are lucky in offices or tents in Clare. Is the more humanitarian thing not to tell the EU and spread the word- we have no place for ye.
I have a legitimate and honest question with no skin in the game….
How do you square a national housing crisis with not enough homes to go around, to having an open policy of welcoming refugees and having no place to put them other than the houses you don’t have for everyone else?
Where do you draw the line? Do you draw the line?
Does Ireland really have enough places to put up 20,000 refugees?

Such a good thing to do. Well done.
