RTE news : Harris clarifies 'far-left' remark over Dublin protest

http://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2021/0228/1199831-dublin-protests/

So no surprise no sign "far left" involved

Sure the gardai are mad for fireworks, I believe they give them pepper spray and a packet of sparklers after completing training...

Ok why don't the organizers have public profiles and publicly condemn the actions of that idiot?

The general population who are fed up with the restrictions are never going to get behind and support a faceless group, especially one that pretends to be associated with a political party that it isn't.

You mention FF there - what about the largest party in opposition - SF - why aren't they supporting any rise from restrictions or labour, or even the likes of people before profit - why aren't they putting their names to these marches?

Because SF and PBP dont support these marches

Whether or not you want to believe him I think it's important to post his defense.

This is just another usual suspects march. We get quite a few annually and it's a lot of the same faces regardless of the theme of the protest. This one seemed to coalesce all the malcontents in one place, including the "fight da pigs" factions.

The boy who lit the firework looked about 13 years old.

A likely "slap on the wrist" in juvenile court.

Where in Boylan’s tweet does he say it was a Garda in disguise who did it?

What tickles me is that 6 of them wore masks in court!

“ Thirteen people were brought before Dublin District Court last night, charged in connection with protests in Dublin city centre yesterday afternoon.

The 12 men and one woman were brought before a special sitting of the court and charged with breaches of the Public Order Act.

Some of the defendants were charged with multiple breaches of the Act while some face just one charge.

The offences before the court included threatening, abusive and insulting behaviour, failing to comply with the direction of a garda, obstructing a garda and giving a false name or address.

The offences were alleged to have taken place in various locations in the city centre including Grafton Street and O'Connell street.

The youngest defendants were two 19-year-old men.

The oldest was 59-year-old Fergus Cahill from Shankill in Co Dublin, whose 25-year-old son, Caoilte, was also before the court, with both facing three public order charges each.

The defendants also included 26-year-old twin brothers.

Those before the court also had addresses in Crumlin, Drimnagh, the south and north city centre and Finglas.

One man was homeless, some are not working and others work in various roles such as wheel technician and factory workers.

Six of the 13 wore masks during their appearance in court.

Judge Michael Walsh granted bail to all of the defendants on conditions including directing that they abide by Covid-19 regulations, that they stay within their 5km areas and that they do not participate in any unlawful protests.

The judge said the court recognised the right of people to protest but unlawful assembly for an unlawful purpose would not be tolerated.

He granted bail to all of the defendants, most of them on condition that they lodge €100 in cash in court.

They will all be back before Cloverhill District Court next week.

It is understood the DPP is considering whether more serious charges should be preferred against any of the defendants.

Gardaí say seven others were charged with offences and released on station bail.

Three juveniles were released and will be considered for inclusion in the Juvenile Diversion Programme. ”

On the political spectrum who's left and right, I really don't know, I would have assumed SF/FF slightly to the right and FG a bit to the left or have we only one right wing party like the Nationalist party and everyone else is left.
Drew Harris backtracked on mentioning the far left earlier so i'm assuming whether rightly or wrongly it was from political pressure, i.e no party wanted to be associated with their side.

"However this morning, Mr Harris said that "despite initial indications, following further investigations, there is no corroborated evidence of extreme left factions being involved."

He added: "The vast majority of those who took part belong to a number of factions including anti-vaccine, anti-mask and anti-lockdown far-right, far right groups, and those intent on trouble and disorder."

I've no operational experience of policing, but even I still know that having an unconfirmed number of people protesting against you, in a wide open space where you can do little to create a tactical advantage, is a fcuking stupid idea.

:rolleyes:


They put them in the street so they could control them properly.

Kettling.

Anyone know if they arrested the man with the firework?

Why? If it is factual should it not be reported? Looks pretty standard for that type of report tbh.
What's your point?

Whilst the person who fired the firework committed a criminal act and behaved like a thug and I will condemn that individual. The Garda response can only be described as utterly atrocious. Closing St.Stephens Green defied any reasonable logic.

This meant the crowd was being crammed into a much smaller space on Grafton Street which could only be seen as a provocation meaning far worse consequences if there was to be any any trouble at the protest which did happen.

If the protest had have been allowed to take place in Stephen's Green as originally intended the chances of trouble would have been reduced as 1. Stephen Green is larger open space meaning the chances of a crush were far lower and any individuals seeking to cause trouble could have easily been identified, removed and arrested. 2. Closing Stephen's Green was a provocation which only sought to anger protestors further thus increasing the possibility of trouble.

Conclusion whoever made the decision to move to close Stephen's Green today should resign from their position in AGS. This decision risked the safety of members of AGS, the protestors and members of the general public who may have gotten caught up in today's events. Quite frankly it was lucky no one was killed today and that is no exaggeration and most of the blame has to be put down to the incompetence of AGS.

The fact that the NP and similar strains of sh1te are a collection of c*nts and the mentally challenged is why yesterday ended up as it did nothing else.

Seven of those arrested wore masks in court.


That gave me a great chuckle.
Do they even know what they were protesting about.

They should probably be demanding an education, rather than anti-lockdown.

And the babies RTE supposedly kills buried under the National Childrens Hospital

Im glad we have people like Erica watching our backs

From another site (name blocked out) “ Among the protesters was Xxxxxx, a mother of one from Swords, who was drinking a can of Heineken while holding a flyer from the National Party. P and her friend S wore matching black hoodies which said “RTE sold there [sic] souls” and “Save our children from the reptilians”.

P said she was protesting against the lockdown and vaccines. “We’re here to protest against RTE as well,” she added. Her friend said over “9,000 people went missing in Ireland last year”.

Asked how this was linked to RTE, the pair outlined a conspiracy theory that involved babies being killed and harvested for “adrenochrome” which is used to keep RTE celebrities “looking young” while the corpses are buried under the new children’s hospital.

The two claimed the government were “basically paedophiles” and that there were videos explaining this on a website known for hosting far-right speakers and conspiracy theories.

Flyers handed out at the protest promoted theories about 5G causing Covid. They also said that the pandemic was a “plan” to depopulate the world and create a “high-tech totalitarian world”.”
