    No it's not. She doesn't own it. It belongs to the people of Ireland. She resides there during her tenure as Lord Mayor.

    Even in this article Chu doesn't specify that anything racist or political actually happened.


    She literally says this in this very same article. Please take your statement back.

    No where in that article do I see any comments attributed to Mrs Chu where she says the protest was racist.
    It's in my post from earlier
    "Dublin Lord Mayor Hazel Chu has said she was subjected to racist abuse outside her home in the Mansion House yesterday"
    I see Vibes posted a screengrab of it too.

    However, she doesn't state what the racist abuse was, although she remembers an occasion from years ago where someone called her daughter a mongrel.
    Perhaps because one of these racist white Irish married her and they have a mixed-race child.

    That’s quite the little diatribe.

    So you don't wish to stamp hard on this?

    Can you point to her "race baiting" around the shooting? Thanks. It's also not of her own doing that the likes of Gemma O'Doherty and Barrett and many others targeted her as they did. You're not seeming very moderate so far.

    She deleted it. The original tweet is on the George Nkencho thread, but I’m not trawling through the entire thing for it.

    Renters live at home too.

    The term residence refers to your home.

    I don't believe this thread.

    CHU gets harassed at her home racially abused by people who are clearly some of the nastiest and dumbest people in the country and its post after post giving out about CHU.

    This comes JUST DAYS after the SAME type of people stormed capitol hill in the States killing 5 people.

    Unbeleivable.

    Its ONLY a matter of time before gemma and her looney's really hurt someone...or worse.

    Eh, even race baiter Chu never claimed to be racially abused by this crowd.

    Supporting an angry mob, hurling racist abuse at customers locked inside Hartstown Eurospar isn’t race baiting? Fair enough..

    Not sure where you’re going trying to escalate the conversation with you’re ‘moderate’ comment, but it’s certainly revealing of the way you plan to engage.

    You're making stuff up. Hazel Chu didnt support that.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    A woman has been arrested I would imagine she can't.

    She did. She retweeted and liked many posts from that lunatic “Dr” Lucy whatever her name is.

    Attempt to defend it by all means but denying it is ridiculous.

    Racism is different though.

    And harassing someone at their home ...is harassment.

    Don't you want to stamp this out.

    Are you encouraging others to do this?

    Do you think they have the right to do this?

    Do you condemn this specifically?

    I mean not every act of rambling ...but this specific act?

    Would you like to actually comment on what she’s been arrested for? Hint - NOT a racially aggravated public order offence.

    The disingenuousness of the 'home' thing is really taking away from the nastiness of the whole situation.

    As a result, rather than actually focusing on what happened, everyone is bogged down in the semantics of a word. It's ridiculous.

    Oh really? And she didn’t call out the Gardai as racist for doing their job in subduing an aggressive, violent man terrorizing members of my local community?

    Or from your perspective, a poor lamb who was otherwise unarmed, apart from a butter knife.

    No. Hazel might have supported peaceful protests. Saying she supported rioting and racist abuse in Hartstown is lies.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me?

    She shouldn’t be supporting any mass gatherings of people during Level 5 lockdown. A person in her position should be discouraging that type of thing.

    A woman was arrested under public health legislation, i.e. not wearing a mask, or not keeping her distance.

    Ok. Agreed. Still a lie that she supported riots.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me?
