To be fair I did find it eventually but only after following the event brute link.

What was shared on the previous page of this thread didn't clearly show it was an online event.

I agree that tweet could be clearer. My bad - should have specificly called that out.

You need to click the link where it says "sign up:

I can see how the tweet giving a location, date and time might be confusing...

Where does it say that it's a protest btw? Pretty clearly isn't.... Unless you view all public forums as protests?

Sounds more like a discussion on how to approach activism in the future. Nowhere does it state that it's a protest.... Unless you view all public meetings as protests....

But how is it a protest? How can you have an online protest?

Not log into Facebook for a week? Get a hashtag trending?

Seriously, help me out here.

An online meeting isnt a protest so your point is irrelevant really. But you seem to be doing what you accuse Hazel Chu of doing: Only agreeing with protests/meetings that match your viewpoint and advocating that meetings/protests you disagree with should not be promoted.

Nice try. But fail.

And Nope & Incorrect. I dont agree with any **** stirring protests online or otherwise. Thanks.

Didn't agree with the one Saturday. Dont agree with the way this online one is being promoted on the back of that one either. But more importantly don't like politicians using same to push their own political career

Anyone other failed potshots

As for anyones basic comprehension issues - sorry can't help you lads

He's been named online. Doesn't seem to have political affiliations. Seems to be well 'known' to the Gardai as do some of the headers in his family.

Antifa Drone has the story.

Sure Mike. Cos you didn't read my comment or decided to misread it. That's not my problem.

I think this might be better suited to your own efforts



I think I've disturbed a hive of left leaning wasps in here or something

Calm down lads- nothing personal

Tbf, Chu was well in favour of the JusticeForGeorge protests/riots back when that happened. I didn't see her or other many others calling out that as an insult to people and that was with a lot more cases per day

Yeah, but they're "nicer people" by all accounts.
So they surely wouldn't add to Covid case numbers.

Irish examiner reporting extremist Republicans in attendance on Saturday.

Sightings of known republican figures among the violent clashes in Dublin city centre over the weekend are why Garda commissioner Drew Harris said he incorrectly said "extreme left" factions were involved in the melee.

“The vast majority of those who took part belong to a number of factions including anti-vaccine, anti-mask, and anti-lockdown protestors, far-right groups, and those intent on trouble and disorder,” he said.

An Garda Síochána regards "extreme left factions/ groups” as those who are intent on using violence for political means, the statement said.

Mr Varadkar said it was lucky that no one was seriously injured or killed during the violent clashes.

“There's no excuse for using that kind of violence to advance a political cause no matter what that cause is,” he said.

Eh, Barrett who engages in racist attacks on social media regularly? The same guy who famously got caught out for doing speeches to neo Nazis in Germany? Ya,I think it's fair to say his party are extremists.

According to sources, persons previously associated with hardline republican and socialist groups appeared to align themselves with far-right elements, who were protesting against the year-long restrictions on personal freedoms.

In his statement, Commissioner Harris said despite initial indications, following further investigation, there is no corroborated evidence of extreme left factions being involved.

“The vast majority of those who took part belong to a number of factions including anti-vaccine, anti-mask, and anti-lockdown protestors, far-right groups, and those intent on trouble and disorder,” he said.

Imagine calling people scum for saying house the Irish homeless.

These 'anti fascists' truly truly despise the Irish. Anyone who has any consideration for the homeless is 'fascist' or 'scum'

Same like Simon Harris and all these anti Irish dickheads. Despise the Irish calling peaceful protestors 'thugs'

He knows well it was 99.9% peaceful people but tea boy Simon ignores this, perhaps it's his appalling lack of education makes him say such nonsense? Tea boy Simon did well for someone never even graduated college. Family all on the take with bent NGO's too. No surprises there! Dumb Paddy never ask any questions of this.

Is it just Simon you have an issue with not completing his college course or is everyone in the nation who didn't complete a college course that you consider to have an "appalling lack of education"?

I'd wager The National Party don't give two shíts about the Irish homeless either, but they are a handy tool to use to give out about immigrants.

So what exactly were these good Republicans doing at the protest? I hope they were all complying with covid regs.

It always reminds me of this:

We need to look after our own first, say people who would never help anyone

TOTAL bastards have responded to the latest row over foreign aid with a sudden interest in looking after their neighbours.
54-year-old Mary Fisher, who has never done anything except antagonise those around her, wants to prioritise the local poor people that she described last week as ‘useless bonk-eyed fuckers’.

No but

Simon Harris: Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.

Do you not think someone with the above title should have an education?

Chap couldn't even graduate an arts degree from an IT. Basically requires turning up. Like come on.

It's incredibly embarrassing and damning having a minister of education in a country who can barely string a coherent sentence together who was previously Minister of Health.

Might sound totally crazy to you but maybe just maybe have educated people in such positions? It's a thought.

Di you read the comment you quoted?
I actually already posted that bit from the article.

But here it is again so you know the relevant piece from the article to look for

"persons previously associated with hardline republican and socialist groups appeared to align themselves with far-right elements, who were protesting against the year-long restrictions on personal freedoms."

Persons previously with hardline republican groups are now aligned with Far right groups. OK

If Sinn Fein have lost control of extreme nationalism what effing good are they?
