Was/is the protesting at East Wall Racist?

The snobbish attitude of the virtue signalling classes and the far left NGO brigade towards the people of East Wall who protested at the sudden & unexpected invasion of almost 400 immigrants of unknown background is so typical of these arrogant, self-righteous, moralising virtue-signalling hypocrites.

They are getting their answer. Long live these communities and their right to voice their justified concerns.

The height of Irish ignorance on display for everybody to see. Its cowardly behaviour to target people who are not the cause of our countries problems. If these idiots want to protest about housing then they should grow a pair and protest outside politician's offices or even better outside their comfy warm houses or An Bord Planeala or An Taisce offices.

I'd agree with that assessment.

I dont know much about Renua but someone more competent.

Idk to be honest, I'm not very well read on politics.

There just seems to be a growing demand for someone to take a slant similar to "Ireland for the Irish" but with a level headed approach (no pictures of Padraig Pearse or the GPO in flames).

Again, all this coming from a barely informed viewpoint.

Hopefully this is only the start. More protests are needed and better organised.

It was fairly obviously a joke…

Have a feeling the genie is out of the bottle now- warm cosy Irish times articles about “migrants” and lectures from NGOs/far left about how racist we all are isn’t going to cut much ice either

well why are they protesting about housing refugees in a building no 'native' Irish person would choose to live in. How is this in any way depriving 'locals' of services and infrastructure?

Have you asked locals or otherwise if they would live here or not? If you haven’t evidence of that then your point is meaningless speculation and more of the talking down/smearing the far left have seen explode on their arrogant faces this week.

It’s kind of astounding that we have to explain the added strain 400 extra bodies add to traffic, security, infrastructure, health services etc. Do the far left imagine these people are going to stay holed up all day in their free accommodation?

But have they been offered to the locals/homeless/housing list first?

As purpose built family hubs have been deemed to lack human dignity, I severely doubt throwing dozens of families into swiftly partitioned offices would be met with open arms.

This is a temporary solution for Asylum Seekers and Refugees.

there is no invasion, just the use of a surplus to requirements building to house people in need.

the protests are just whinging over brown faces that is all.

Keep dismissing their (legimate) concerns as racist. Going down a storm so far with the urchins
