Independent TD, Carol Nolan, has said that the community consent model of policing is being eroded because of the policing of asylum centre related protests, and that gardai are privately wondering how normalised community engagement can return given the prospect of more than “ten thousand plus IPAS applicants arriving annually”.
The Laois Offaly TD called on both the Garda Commissioner Drew Harris and the Minister for Justice Helen McEntee to “address concerns that the model of policing by consent, as laid down for An Garda Síochána in its own Policy Documents, is being eroded and undermined by ongoing confrontations between members of the force and members of the public who wish to peacefully protest about the presence of IPAS accommodation centres in their locality”.
Deputy Nolan said that scenes in Newtownmountkenndy, in particular, are allowing a perception to take root that the majority of rank and file gardaí are indifferent to community concerns.
This, she said, could “completely destabilise the enormous benefits that have been nurtured through consistent and positive community engagement.”:
“I am deeply alarmed at the direction in which the entire situation around policing at IPAS related protests is heading,” said Deputy Nolan.“I am also extremely worried by footage in which an accredited female journalist who identified herself as such was apparently been pepper sprayed by Gardaí.”
“We know from the Garda Decision Making Model policy document and indeed from our everyday experience, that policing by consent is a core part of the Gardaí’s guiding philosophy.”
“Indeed, within that document it is explicitly stated that decisions about how Gardaí operate must take account of community needs and expectations and the impact of any decision on the community.”
“It goes on to say that working collaboratively to build positive working relationships focussed on addressing issues of concern for communities should be a primary concern for all Garda personnel.”
“I could not agree more with those statements. However, we are now at a point where a perception is taking hold that the primacy of that concern is being subordinated to a policy of intimidation.”
“I know from my own engagement with rank-and-file gardaí that the very last thing they want to be doing is confronting the women and children and men who want to voice their peaceful concerns. They abhor the level of division and animosity this is creating.”
“Indeed, many gardai are privately wondering how it will even be possible for a normalised version of community engagement to return given the fact that we are looking at a decade and more of ten thousand plus IPAS applicants arriving annually.”
“I am urgently appealing for calm and a sense of proportionality as the situation is ripe for deterioration, and that is something which must be addressed urgently by both the Commissioner and the Minister,” concluded Deputy Nolan.
Footage from Newtownmountkennedy on Thursday night showed clashes between a local protest and the riot squad, where pepper spray was used on protesters. Gardaí said in a statement that they had been attacked and had responded accordingly. .

Yesterday, the Garda Commissioner, Drew Harris, rejected suggestions that the actions of the gardaí were “heavy handed”.
“It’s not a heavy hand at all. This is a graduated response to what we believe are reasonably foreseeable policing demands that we are going to face here,” Mr Harris said, adding that there were rising tensions and a risk of violence.
“We have to be in a position to protect ourselves and to protect those conducting legitimate business,” he said.
Taoiseach Simon Harris, who is a TD for the area, said that gardaí are “charged with upholding the laws of the land and they should be supported in doing so”.
“This is a country of laws. Attacks on gardaí should be condemned by all,” he said.
However, in a statement, local protesters said it was a “disgrace” that the Government had “bullied the people of Newtownmountkenneddy to force a hugely unpopular immigration policy on them”.
They said that government ministers and senior gardaí would be wheeled out to say the events in Newtownmountkennedy “were a disgrace and should never have happened.”
“They are right. It is a disgrace that the government bullied the people of Newtown to force a hugely unpopular immigration policy on them. They will tell us that the wearing of balaclavas is intimidating. Again, they are right – and the people of Newtown were actively intimidated by the gardai forcing balaclava clad drivers and workers at 2am onto a site where there had been a peaceful protest held for the last six weeks.”
“In fact we will be told all manner of things and offered mock expressions of outrage to divert us all from the actual issue – that this government is using its police force to bully an immensely reckless and unpopular immigration policy onto its citizens. So please, do ask why this happened in newtownmountkennedy and do ask why they will not listen to the citizens of Ireland,” they said.

Gardai need to be very carefull how they act in these matters , history shows that those who invoke violence and aggression against the rights and will of the people often end up regretting ‘ following orders ‘ .
i saw it myself back in the 1980s in the uk , former community police officers who were born and raised in certain towns & villages who made the decision to stand against their own friends and families, their own communities all in the name of a government hell bent on causing chaos and disruption in order toFORCE through their policies in spite of the publics objections .
those officers became pheriers in their own communities , the actions and hard line stance called for by their senior officers ( no doubt under orders “from above “) led to many of them being austricised by former friends and families ,unwelcome at the local pub, not wanted at sports groups or community events , many were FORCED TO MOVE AWAY ,relocate to where they hoped their part in those disputes would not be known about
on a more national point it brought about the downfall of COMMUNITY POLICING in those areas , people NO LONGER TRUSTED or had ANY TRUST in the police ,and viewed them with suspicion rather than respect , POLICE BECAME THE ENAMY WITHIN and policing in the UK has NEVER recovered from that .
Drew harris and indeed this sham of a government need to re think their approach to these issues , STOP AND THINK !!
the politicans that are pushing this should be made feel unwelcome wherever they go.
shut them out of their communities.
im just watching pbs america documentry about the irish civil war , very indepth and interesting work ,but there are a number of similar actions taken by the political parties of the time and what is happening today across the country . The use of ‘agent provocaters ‘ to cause unrest ,the over reaction by state forces , In this cause SECTIONS OF THE GARDAI and the unecessery force used against the citizens of the state ,and most of all the way those in power totally ignored the wishes of the people leading up to what was to be a brutal and unecessery conflict , lets just hope this does’nt evolve into anything more sinister .
I don’t know what PBS are saying but I think it very likely that the then British prime minister acquiesced in the deployment of the black & tans while unknown to his cabinet he also opened up a back channel of communications with Collins. While the rest of the British cabinet wanted confrontation Lloyd George knew that a negotiated settlement was really the only option. The sinister gang of dick heads in the Irish cabinet are all for a Croppies lie down policy. It won’t work. It didn’t work in 1919 for the then British empire it wont work today for the political pygmies that are the current ruling class
Yes exactly. It’s time for the return of Captain Boycott
100% I saw on the GRA Facebook page a member whinging about not having the proper lethal gear for dealing with riots. At their annual general conference they perpetuated Drew Harris’ lie about the threat from the far right. They have chosen their side, they should be named and shamed from their treacherous behaviour.
ireland the little russia of westeren euorpe
i direct this comment at irish goverment and the slippy road its heading down against its own people,micheal martin was very anti local with his comments on tv this week does he think all irish people are stupid. in uk and usa and most eu countries on tv channels they got tv persenters that ask the hard questions but in ireland thst does not happen, my mobile phone is my best tv question and answer friend.it does not lie to me or i can cross check the facts of the matter, it keeps telling me this goverment does not like me as a local irish patriot
Brought to us by the most anti Irish , anti democratic , criminal government that the country has ever seen.
It is impossible to avoid the conclusion that the Newtownmountkennedy confrontation was deliberately provoked to allow a demonstration of force as a lesson for the rest of the country.
The events that unfolded were so serious, so reminiscent of a non democratic state , so suggestive of authoritarianism, that there should at least be an inquiry into the decision making that led up to them. It is certain that any such inquiry, if objectively conducted , would find that these events were entirely avoidable and it would be important to establish to what degree they were deliberately orchestrated or to what degree they might have been as a result of incompetence and poor decision making. But there won’t be an inquiry and there won’t be any reflection and the government have made it clear that they will continue on the same course and will continue to use the Gardai to enforce their will. So they do want to use Newtownmountkennedy as an example to the rest of the country.
And for now it is Irish Gardai enforcing government policy on the people but over time that will change and government policy will , at some time in the future, be enforced on the Irish people by a police force at least partly drawn from other parts of the world .
If the government is not prepared to do any soul searching now , which certainly does not seem to be the case , the future is looking more dark by the day .
If ever there were a time for a latter day Eoin Rua O Neill to appear it must surely be now.
It looked like the gardaí baton squad from at least two directions on one road moved in to hem the protesters into a confined area, and this precipitated the throwing of missiles at them.
While the damage to the cars may have happened before this this tactic is an international one used by security forces to create a pressure point to deliberately provoke a response which is then used as a box-tick to allow the baton squad to move in and attack.
They tried it the previous night but the protestors dropped down and started praying the rosary. The baton-filth were being filmed, so had to hold themselves in check. They couldn’t be recorded beating kneeling, non-violent protestors.
They used this manouevre during one of the anti-lockdown protests in Dublin a couple of summers ago – gardaí moved in from several angles, pushing a large, loose and peaceful protest on to a narrow street and then charged them when projectiles were thrown in response.
This is part of their training, and is one of the reasons there will need to be a root-and-branch clear-out of the force down the line when the regime we’re dealing with now are stripped of their power and position.
There have been a few instances internationally – eg, Australia – where large-scale police corruption and facilitation of organised crime necessitated these kind of solutions – total clear-outs, in some cases, senior officers jailed. The de-nazification of Germany after the war was another more serious and necessary event that’s even more analogous.
The gardaí have been hijacked – politicised, and even working with subversives from antifa as has been recorded on film at a couple of the protests (the undedcover antifa who tried to provoke violence but was caught and pushed out by protestors, the gardaí rushing to his aid to escort him to safety, for instance….the gardaí at the fake protest by masked tossers at O’Gorman’s, etc., and now Helen’s hoax- bomb-hoax).
The constitutional fact is that, in Ireland, it is the people and their expressed will who are sovereign – it’s on this that all our laws and the government’s mandate rest.
It has been expressed – through protests in towns and villages across every county in Ireland, verified through polling, and we already know all this from the words of all our friends, families, acquaintances, strangers…that the Irish people are utterly opposed to what is being done to them – to our country and communities.
The government’s mandate is void.
If the gardaí are, through their actions, force-implementing these policies of the government that have been rejected and are opposed by the Irish people, then the recognition of An Garda Síochána as the legitimate policing force of the country is void.
This isn’t rowdy, rabble-rousing, cod-revolutionary talk.
The people have rejected the scale of migration in to the country, and the masses of dubious and often criminal men from the world’s most backwards societies that are being planted in their communities.
And the gardaí are arriving into these communities to attack and baton the Irish people who are protesting and – as is their right – blocking and barricading in so far as they can to prevent this happening.
This comment is an excellent summary of where we are now
I agree with you
Agreed. And the timing is perfect for the Greater Harris to order his stormtroopers into action and establish his ‘law and order’ credentials.
The Lesser Harris of course just did what he was told.
.
Total media blackout on the big peaceful protest that took place in Wicklow today.
Yes . The journal photo of today’s march was a joke . Made it look like there was about 12 people marching . Those who mention it at all trying to infer that there was about 200 people there . I don’t think RTE have mentioned it .It is either censorship by omission or a complete distortion to make it look like it either didn’t happen at all or was very poorly supported .
Misinformation & disinformation is fine as long as it is in support of the government narrative it seems.
I see that government have no problems condemning the protesters but have nothing to say about a reporter being pushed and pepper sprayed despite her clearly identifying her self as press. If this had happened in in any other country in the the world our government would be the first in line to condemn it as an attack on the freedom of the press. Talk about a shower of hypocrites who rule by the motto of do as we say, not as we do.
If you ask me O’Gorman’s demeanour in an interview yesterday was suggestive of someone trying to conceal the face that they were experiencing an endorphin rush. That man has so much power to do great harm that he should at the very least be compelled to submit to a psychiatric evaluation in order to be allowed to remain in that position. The pain had not receded from the eyes of the citizens who had been pepper sprayed in order to enforce his policies before he was enthusiastically talking about the involvement of the Gardai in the opening of future IPAS accommodation centres around the country. And as I say , I couldn’t help feeling that he was enjoying the moment the morning after Newtownmountkennedy. Even his cabinet colleagues should be worried at this stage , as complicit and all as they are.
If ever a government were more dead set against the interests of it’s people it surely must be this conglomerate of traitors.
I agree with Carol Nolan. According to the government Ireland must accept unlimited number of migrants but it’s carbon emissions must be net zero. Go figure. Go do the Maths.
Best description of the rank stupidity and hypocrisy of government positions on two policy fronts.
Wiat till the Gardai become even more diverse and more of the Irish aboriginals feck off the Australia to police.They will beat up more Wicklow’s Aboriginals, who will be treated in A&Es by diverse staff, whilst the Trots tell them they are “privileged” to be seen to. The abuse these well known LGBTQ lot are throwing at “outside agitators”, all of whom have distinct local Wicklow accents, is something to behold. As is the glee they take in your Fatima Gunning correspondent being assaulted (albeit not fatally like Lyra McKee, the young Belfast journalist killed in Derry as she too tried to carve her own modest niche)
Surely you do not believe that any non Irish police force would fail to apply the rule of law without fear or favour. Although come to think of it, the Irish people that voted for Martin, Varadkar, and Ryan probably thought the same.
Depends on who will be making the law by then, they too might not be Irish!
The Irish people will triumph in the end.
No end in sight. The treachery is coming from within. That is a harder enemy to dismantle. The damage this crowd has done is going to negatively impact for generations to come. Not enough people taking to the streets either.
Consent Model of Policing Undermined By –
● Gardaí participating/facilitating fake protest carried out by masked antifa outside O’Gorman’s house
● Drew Harris and Special Branch implementing fake bomb hoax at Helen McEntee’s house
(this kind of thing brought to us by Drew as a speciality from British operations in the north)
● And last but not least – at the fountainhead of the problem –
A Rogue Irish Government implementing a mass immigrant plantation policy of the European Commission against the declared will of every community across Ireland and the Irish people as a whole.
The entire Garda baton-squad, Special Branch and Commissioner need to be uprooted and removed, McEntee jailed, and the government removed from power.
I disagree with Nolan in her praise of the guards. She intimates people had no problems with them ever before, that it only started now. She is making it difficult for those who have previous complaints about them. She is making them feel they are alone and that everyone else is happy with the guards. The ‘guards abhor the level of division and animosity this is creating’. I vehemently disagree. They are creating the division themselves, they are out in action helping the ‘legitimate business’ that their boss calls it. Working at 2am in balaclavas, that’s legitimate for him. If there is habitation in the area, it is illegal to make industrial noise at that time, as people are entitled to sleep. People who have complaints about guards should not feel intimidated or pressurised by guard lovers. Pride week will be coming up soon and missy will be out driving her pride car again. Remember last year and the arrest of the man who held a placard of dissent in protest. Missy was hot that day. She was out supporting pride and doing police duty arresting dissenters, simultaneously. Missy does not tolerate dissent. She was enforcing pride on everyone. That’s the guards’ level now. Between their legs is where it is at. The guards should be impartial. They are not. They are supporting the LGBT cult which is offensive to my religious beliefs. Police cars should be neutral, that’s their role for policing. Deck them in the pride colours and drive them in support and it turns the force into rent boys. Ireland is rotten.
Carol Nolan is pointing out the anomaly of the Guards upholding their mission. In bygone decades which was to protect Irish citizens from being subject to breaches of the Law. Nowadays it is to prevent Irish people from objecting to the infringement of it’s own government on their constitutional rights.
They were as bad last year as this year. They were as bad ten years ago. This is nothing new. You are saying they only changed their colours a few days ago, that it all started in Newtownmountkennedy. Dream on. I remember male students complaining in the early 70s who got roughed up by them. Guards were always secretly resented by many people of all classes behind closed doors, throughout the decades, since independence. Still the same. The MSM push the narrative that they are accepted. Lots buy into that.
I did not say it has been like this only in the last few days. Please do not attribute your mis spoke statements to me. One has only to recall how they curtailed the rights of the freedom of Irish people during the covid scamdemic to realise this.
However you did feel forty years ago that they would apply the law impartially. I was stopped by my local Gardai back in the1970’s for not having a light on my bicycle. It was a bitterly cold night and the front lamp was frozen up with the cold such that the on switch could not be operated. I pointed this out to them they checked the mechanism was indeed frozen solid and allowed me to go without any further incident.
We all saw the video over 2 million views on Andy gnos Twitter . Diabolical all of it . Tyranny . Not one government in the world are listening to their citizens on any matter. The Garda beat women to the ground and stomped them underfoot. They were being recorded and didn’t care. If they were worried about putting out a fire they would have called a fire brigade not the riot squad to kick and smash protesters heads in.
Exactly. Look a fire. Call the riot squad. Who do they think they are fooling.
well said Carol irish police been used to protect and bully with violent force for the profit of the elites aganist it own people , it shocking i hope gra see throught it .
Both government and the black n tans made it perfectly clear that consent will not be asked or required in any form. If you wanted proof that Democratic process is gone in Ireland, you saw it the other night.
it’s terribly sad what is happening. gutted.
“This is a country of laws…” simple Simon said.
This is hypocrisy. We would not be in this perilous situation if Simon and co. actually applied the law. How about the law which requires any who turns up at the point of entry to have valid documents? Who told immigration not to apply this law? Gript – how about pursuing a freedom of information request to track down the answer to this telling question (it was reported on X from a person who works at the airport)..
A much-needed Dublin 15 new bridge project was dropped due to opposition from a small number of residents in Leo, Jack and Rod’s constituency. Yet the concerns of an entire village community (NTMK) are utterly disregarded! Very disturbing indeed.
Simon and co are actually applying the law but not Irish law but UN law (albeit the NWO)our country was sold out the day we joined the EU beast system and worse is to come ,there is a rush on to get all these immigrants in place(trogan horse tactics) before end of this year ,happening world wide and gathering pace as the great reset and die off is going to be happening, bring down the country from within and people are kept busy with bread and circuses entertainment TV,sports,LGBTQ,women’s rights,rights for dogs,road statistics HSE shortages,lack of nurses,doctors ,far right bullshit,stardust,knife crime not to mention the controlled opposition Muppets that are going to save the day … we need more time they parrot and meanwhile the clock ticks closer to Armageddon. They have told you what they they are going to do since the 1800 s the chess pieces have been put in place bit by bit and their master Lucifer is controlling the agenda with his satanic minions(doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in satan,they do)But I already know the plan and the END which is not good for them and for all those who are not Born Again…believe in the Lord Jesus Christ before it’s too late,call out to him while you have time,Jesus says all who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved..with the mouth one confesses and with the heart his mind changes.
‘Joanne’ the born-again christian =’Dr. Akhbar…’ the pretend-muslim doctor =’Israel’ the biomedic from Nigeria = ‘Pat the Cat’ the new-age anti-semitic conspiracy theorist = ‘Jack Shaz’ the… well, retard.
There are a couple of others all played by the same numpty.
[says I, and then spell Buddha wrong 😕 ]
He began posting here to derail the comments, and deter others by posting mental stuff like the above.
But most of the time he seems to have lost sight of whatever his initial purpose was, and betrays signs of deep-seated loneliness, and mental illness from the 40 hours a week he spends method-acting these characters
No respect for em after this.The irony of the same lot that can ask you for ID at a road block without even knowing who’s in their own Country.
“legitimate business” indeed.
It’s one party rule now. Has been since this government got into power. Elections very far away, so with McEntee leading, look out. FG in government have a fearful history of repression. They kept it up against the remaining civil war crowd, that they didn’t get to kill in the war. My father lived through it. He told the stories long before they ever saw ink. They haven’t changed their stripes. Fierce revisionism too. Revisionism kills history. Many people are politically correct, because it is safe. They will be on the govt side, no matter what and they are often in the majority. They talk clap happy talk, pretend all is well and suppress communication. We are the same as primitive one party rule dictatorships now. Our difference is we had a choice of party to vote for. The problem with that system is that it did not give us a choice of party who would oppose the government. SF were active in promoting govt policy. They acted in coalition, not opposition. Still do. Can they not be fined for that? Did anyone hear a shout from them in the Dáil against the teaming masses of bogus into Ireland? No, because they are open border globalist activists. The country is already gone. We have to wait to vote to prise it back.
Vote Harris out the first chance you get because your life and the life of your community depends on it. We want the Denmark system. Strict border controls. And we want them now. They lied about the referendum and they are lying about IPAS. They are lying about IPAs and blaming British RWANDA policy. Our country is broken and it has been broken by these inept clowns. Vote them out and defund the unelected NGO sector demanding we take more refugees. People who have never paid a penny tax in their lives. Who only take from us and then abuse us the tax payer with insults. Vote them out.
We actually have the option of a far tighter system than Denmark is implenting – the Opt-Out secured for Ireland under the second Lisbon Treaty is far more wide-reaching than what the Danes have.
We are basically exempt from all the e.u. rules and agreements on asylum, unless we choose otherwise.
This means we are only subject to the Geneva Convention (which is also voluntary).
But even this only asks that a signatory State take in refugees on a temporary basis from neighbouring territories and the applicants are obliged to seek sanctuary in the first safe region they travel to. It was to stop massacres and indirect killings from warfare. Any other application of its premise is really up to the State concerned. And the ‘asylum’ migration that has been happening for the past twenty-odd years into Ireland isn’t supported by the convention. You may have noticed that it existed for almost half a century prior to that time, during which despite all the numerous wars all around the world we only ever took in about three or four hundred from the Balkan conflict. (This was a voluntary gesture, either to set limits or even accept any at all. This is still the case under the geneva convention)
Note also – refusing to admit refugees breaks only the agreement, not any international ‘laws’. There are no penalties, sanctions, etc., allowed.
Denmark would love to have the freedom Ireland has – we are actually able without contravening any ‘rules’ or agreements with the e.u. to do what Denmark can only in part achieve :
“We want zero asylum seekers,” said Mette Frederiksen, Denmark’s prime minister.
“We can’t promise it but we can create a vision, like we did before the election, that we want a new asylum system and then do what we can to implement it,” she continued
In March 2021 it was the first eu country to say it would send Syrians back to Syria, arguing that Damascus and its environs are now safe.
But hoax-bomb-hoax-McEntee, O’Gorm[.a.p.] and Tea-boy want us to volunteer to take migrants that are the responsibility of other e.u. countries.
Signing up to this, though, wouldn’t negate our agreed rights under Lisbon2.
We can sign ourselves straight back out of the Migrant-Sharing Pact with a new government.
This was confirmed by the migration-envoy from the commission who reluctantly admitted it could not prevent Ireland from reinstating its Opt-Out even if it had formerly signed, saying that it would then be a matter for Ireland.
Love to hear a honest debate based on the above.
Coming to rte in three, two, one….
Note also that Miss Frediksen is from the Social Democrats of Denmark. A party slightly left of Centre-Left.
They have turned against the mass-migration movement for non-racial or supposed ‘far-right’ reasons, but purely on the basis of the social reality.
As have the Social Democratic Party in Sweden.
They even gave a public warning to Mícheál Martin at his farewall-as-taoiseach speech at the european parliament; telling him not to repeat the same mistakes they and Sweden had made with regard to islamic immigration and what it had done there.
Sweet Jesus – what has this man done in his lifetime of waffle that even my grandfather saw through, in the 80’s.
There’s too much to explain here in this just one comment.
But,it goes back to the saying, “for evil to triumph, good men look the other way”.
Anyone have more information on this regarding garda recruitment.
https://t.me/OrlaredChan/9556
I seen that myself. Thought it was a joke at first. I don’t know much about Ivan yeates in the past but recently he’s been realistic about everything
My God!
I’m not sure of this is simply insane or if it’s treason.
Carol Nolan has just explained something very important to the coalition , Drew Harris and especially to Helen mcEntee.
And the msm.
Will any of these take a blind bit of notice.?
“It’s not a heavy hand at all. This is a graduated response to what we believe are reasonably foreseeable policing demands that we are going to face here,” Mr Harris said, adding that there were rising tensions and a risk of violence.”
Drew Harris is directly threatening our people and our political leaders have rowed in behind him. The silence from Sinn Fein is very telling as they are now part of the establishment. Please post widely the videos of the newly planted acting as animals on Facebook pages of our politicians and mainstream media pages as well as International sites. Unfortunately as a nation we’re going to have to pay dearly for our government’s reckless behaviour but we have no choice but to take a stand now.
In recent years we have seen a sharp increase in the level of awareness of police brutality.
We have video footage of unarmed peaceful protestors being provoked and assaulted by our own police force.
If we are to save Ireland from what we can all see happening before our eyes, we need to send our guardians of the peace a clear message. We need to let then know that should any of them ever face disciplinary action of any kind for failing to obey orders which they find contrary to their own morals and sense of patriotism, we the people, the unnarmed innocent protestors will spring to their side and support them.
For a Garda to refuse an order to forcefully disburse a crowd is a serious offense. They not only face losing their job but also their home and their pension and a shunning from their peers.
We need to let them know that the people of Ireland are willing to take actions such as crowd funding their living and legal expenses to the best of our ability.
We are willing to start email campaigns and have thousands of Irish people emailing every political, religious, and celebrity figure in Europe and beyond on their behalf.
We need to let them know that we will contact every media channel at our disposal, repeatedly, to raise awareness of their case.
We need to let them know that we are aware that their hands are tied and we forgive them for their transgressions both past and future.
We need to let them know that the people of Ireland have heard their cries for a change of leadership and we support them.
I have faith in my fellow Irish men and women. I do not believe our sworn guardians of the peace decided to form forceful groups to clear us off, to stem our legitimate inquiry, to silence our voices. Our guardians of the peace have been trapped and tricked into only obeying their sworn oath to the people of Ireland when it does not conflict with their orders of the day.
We need to let them know that we won’t be tricked into another episode of fighting our own fellow islanders because of somebody else’s foreign policy.
Help is a two way street here. If we are to stop the misuse of our guardians of the peace, we must identify those issuing such orders and make it our business to have those responsible held to the highest degree of public scrutiny, to start with.
We the people of Ireland are offering all our help to our guards and pleading for theirs.
A Guard in the Public Order Unit could call in sick or say he’s feeling unwell if he feels what he’s being asked to do is not right.
The Public Order Unit and what the were doing the other night bears no resemblance to my understanding of what An Garda Síochána is supposed to represent.
I heard a strong English accent from one of the Public Order Unit shouting at the protestors.
Remember when “alleged” loyalist paramilitaries conducted a forceful and violent eviction in Dublin not so long ago?
Had any of our guards refused to work with them on that day, where would those guards be now?
We are being rightly fucked over and so are the guards and those dishing out the orders need conflict and hatred between the guards and the Irish people, in order to get their way.
These are scary times.
Blue flu
my bet is the goverment will hand in their P45s next week to people of ireland that did not elect in this goverment as two main parties would join up to keep sinn fein out , this has been hoodwink politcies since day one latest been 800euro tax free for landlords to take non irish before the locals , free housing prefabs (new) to non irish and protest this and you eill getting a hammering and jail time men and women , no housing for locals hospidals schools transport one big mess ,country totally going in wrong direction , uvf running gangs with people smuggling to the south , no mention of that , it s ok when its their idendtiy and culture issues but not ours .General Election we need now , the people need to give the mandate for this goverment , not like micheal martin as make it up as you go alone , finna gael and finna fail thinking sitting on sidelines saying noting now will get them elected , well to let you know them days are over , THKS to MOBILE PHONE I GET ALL THE RIGHT INFO THAT YE HIDE
I hope your bet is right – there’ll be someone killed if this keeps going.
An election is the only democratic way out of this mess that they created.
They have to call it now – it’s over.
Good podcast by Niall Boylan with eyewitness accounts from Newtown the other night.
https://niallboylan.com/podcast/whats-happening-at-newtownmountkennedy-part-2-episode-215
Bad old days of the RUC come to mind.
The consent model of policing went the way of the dinosaur a few years ago, when Templemore’s finest were setting up road blocks to make sure the plebs weren’t straying outside of their 5km.
