The Tipperary TD said the government was making a […]
Fine Gael’s Michael Ring says that he fears the country is becoming a “police state” under the new lockdown rules. The Mayo TD told the Fine Gael parliamentary meeting tonight that he would not support new moves to fine people who have been found to breach the 5km restrictions to be introduced at midnight. He and other TDs pointed out […]
As the country moves into level 5 restrictions once again, the rules are clear for everybody: Shops and businesses are closing.

After all the media frenzy over the threat of the “far right” lately, it was a self-appointed lockdown far-left militia who were responsible for the violence in Dublin on Saturday. A group consisting of mostly it seems supporters of a deeply penetrated aspirational republican organisation, along with the usual ragtag of soccer casuals and ageing […]
What was to be a few weeks of removal of all of our civil liberties to “flatten the curve” and “protect the NHS” has now eight months later morphed into a dystopian police state. Humans, that most social of species, seem isolated in a laboratory which used to be their lives, in terror of an […]
