Because they are trying to sow dissent and ruin our country?

Btw, if you are booking tickets use real looking names. Homer Simpson is too easy to screen out, eg Ciaran Hughes is not.

How is hiding away different opinions and belittling others good for the country (not accusing you of belittling, more some attitudes in this thread)? All thoughts and ideas should be discussed openly with facts and reason or you risk the silent being forced into a "shock" majority. Or has that lesson gone completely unlearned from the past year.

So we were clearly at the bottom at that time and it wasn't possible for things to get any worse, like we couldn't have ended up like say Greece? Or unemployment couldn't have gone up another 5 points to Spain levels?

Pity you weren't around here with such optimism at the time, all sorts of doom-mongering were going on.

Yeah a good bit of mockery and ridicule should sort this lot out.

Worked a treat on trump and brexit leave voters.

Irexit or whatever you want to call it would be a terrible move for our country, but this no platforming, shouting down and shaming carry on is a blight on our society too.

Two tickets booked.

Mr Tim Budong ("Tim Budong" sounds like Chinese for I don't know which is "Ting Bu Dong"")
Isionseache Farage( Irish Is Ionsioch E?). No Idea if it is correct. Trying to say he is an idiot.

And look what they've got us. The most powerful nation in the world being run by a thin-skinned, failed businessman/reality TV star who's a pastiche of everything the world ridicules the Americans for and a vote to leave the most prosperous trading bloc in the world because foreigners and German dictatorship. Serious intellectual heavyweights you're describing there alright.

And that will get what they deserve: stripped back workers rights.

20 of 23 ministers in the UK government have spoken on record as being against the working time directive. It's fair in my opinion to prevent or disrupt some snake oil salesmen coming to take my rights.

If it were Irishmen who actually wanted to debate the point because they thought it would be in the interests of their country to leave the EU then I doubt people would have a huge issue with it.

It's Nigel fúcking Farage. Do you think he gives a shít about the people of Ireland? Clearly not, as he campaigned for an event that has the consequences of seriously fúcking up the Good Friday Agreement, and he nor anyone else on his campaign couldn't care less about what happens there. You only have to look at what was coming out of the tory party around the EU negotiations a few weeks ago to see what this type of politician in the UK thinks about Ireland, they haven't a notion what goes on here.

I am completely with you on the shouting down of others being unacceptable and often unhelpful to the cause you are campaigning for, but I'd still be happy enough to see people turn up to this just to throw boiling pots of piss at him.

Its not, Nigel Farage should be given a platform alright. off the edge of a ship. The gormless spineless loafer that he is.

No problem taking EU money and then going around crying about it, Oh and he was crying about how he should keep his pension afterwards

If there’s an audience for whatever any individual is preaching, they should be allowed to be heard by that audience as long as it’s all above board and complying with our laws.

If he somehow managed to sway enough people to get this over the line after what we all know about what he did with Brexit (he wouldn’t) then that’s on us as a nation.

The lyrics of Ireland's last place finishing Eurovision entry as written by John Waters:

The curtain has been raised, the wall no longer stands
And from Lisadell to Latvia, we're singing as one clan
The curtain has been raised, and Europe's all one stage
And the archipelagic icicles have melted like the cage

We don't need no party, just a party band
A continental choir singing hand in hand

Democracy was the wrong choice of word. I just don’t agree it’s fair game to sabotage an event because you don’t like what they have to say.
You are preventing people who do want to hear what they have to say from attending.

It’s dangerous and not befitting of a so called liberal country.

How come Nigel Farage isn't campaigning for a break up of the UK? Surely such unions are bad? Or is it that they are good as long as England is the big player in them?

I remember challenging a canvasser/councillor (?) on that one. His response was along the lines of "sure the EU will be giving us jobs!" and that they'd punish us if we didn't toe the line. Should have been put on bus really.

I dare say that says more about Irish politics (wink and a nod, parish pump, provincial gombeens) than it says about European politics.
And "vote yes for jobs", absolutely despicable, how dare they! They can keep their jobs and prosperity. I just want to be a proud Fenian Shepherd. Ireland needs nothing more.

As an aside, people complain about posters promising jobs. The NO side had posters of babies with bar codes printed on their foreheads with something like " THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR BABY!".
So should I vote for jobs or loons screaming about babies? Hhmmhhh, tough one...
I think I'll go with jobs.

Ah, Farage. The prick that got what he wanted, and left for someone else to clean up his mess.

The biggest myth in politics right now. Farage was never going to be involved in the government because he was UKIP leader. If he had remained leader he would still not have been involved in these negotiations. This nonsense that he just walked away and somehow walked away from "power" and responsibility is just that, nonsense.

It's amazing how the Brits have become the rebels all of a sudden.

Fair play to them, I wonder will they inspire more. They usually end up doing well for themselves.

It’s the equivalent of a spoiled ballot, perfectly democratic. The only thing sabotaged are some egos. If you think this posh knacker has the interests of Irish citizens (or the working class of the UK) in mind you’re very much mistaken.

Farage is a troll and moron who incites like minded idiots to vote for the destruction of their country out of some sort of misplaced spite to "stick it to the man".
It's like persuading someone to punch themselves in the face to hurt someone else.
And a sad indictment of just how many gullible, angry idiots the world has right now. Its enough to make you despair for the human race, because I feel IQs have fallen sharply over the last 15 years. People just vote for the most obnoxious, idiotic blowhard in the hope of what, I don't know.

Nope. Boycott to your hearts content. Booking tickets with a pseudonym to stop other people attending isn’t a boycott by my understanding of the word.

It's probably not worth considering any time soon, but what about in about 2022c.

There is a possibility that 'after the dust of Brexit settles'* UK will have much lower corp tax than Ireland,
and probably a new trade deals with the US, Canada, India, NZ & Aus. Maybe even China if they want.

* Believe there is a chance Brexit may not actually happen, and Corbyn will become their new PM during 2018.
The whole episode since June 2016, has been an lengthy episode of sabotaged-laden, paper-shuffling.

I’m sure Farage will appreciate the irony of a boycott which uses his own tactic against him 😀
