Would you like to see the perpetrators of the recent arson attacks brought to justice?

Comparing serial acts of arson to Rosa Parks sitting in the front section of a passenger bus? Cop on.

Rosa Parks didn’t resist or evade arrest either. Cowards.

I’ve never said any different about it being arson.

just said that there is no hard evidence to point it at the reason as to why or who is doing them or if they are even connected

They were executed

The people? Did we have a referendum on skirting international refugee convention which I missed?

Very strange polling options to be honest.

Arson is wrong, whether it was far right, brainless local scumbag or done for an insurance payout, all of them should be arrested.

No matter how much anyone surveys a building they don't know if a homeless person snuck in or if a firefighter will be harmed.

I'm sure their are locals who disagree with arson but at the same time are secretly happy the only casualty was an empty building and they wont be getting busloads of men with nothing to do all day and their house prices won't drop.

Getting to this stage shows the governent are out of their depth and we are beyond capacity.

Let's hope everyone involved in the fires is caught and gets a heafty sentence.

You should have questioned it , you are part and parcel of a shameful ireland

At the time it was not my country. You don't go into a relatives house and tell them how to furnish the place do you?

The other thing is that nothing affected me and it took many years of the horrors of world news to get the message that those that stay quiet and don't object to injustice are condoning and encouraging it.

There were plus points about "intolerance" too, the priest at the local church denouncing the News of the World, is a tremendously good move and example for anyone, even if done from a secular standpoint. I don't know if it's the residue from that or the educational system here, but here proper papers are far more popular than they are in Britain.

Across the water the Tory gutter press reigns supreme in the circulation stakes. That's what feeds racism in Britain incidentally.

Maybe, just maybe the roots of intolerance and subservience were what it needed to produce a country very far removed in character and outlook to the place across the water?

It's a pity the arsonists don't question things either, like why a country with such a low population density is too full to help a few refugees and asylum seekers.

There's a DP centre beside me in East Wall, about a 5 minute walk. Are you saying our house has lost value now because of this? Gas.

People having the attention span to do detail would be a good start.

Hate and fear thrive when fed by ignorance.

I think it's nice to welcome people into the country that are going to respect its culture and laws.

Maybe if the place is that full, for each one coming in, we could get rid of an arsonist to whatever country they came from?

It seems like a win, win. We gain the person rejecting hate and fear abroad and get to export home grown criminal rubbish that thrives on it.

The future? Fear of what might be? You live in a democracy. Can you promote your view without fear and hate, maybe you would be listened to if you stuck to facts.

I'm surrounded by empty properties, strange that they are not filled is it not?

The people coming in are not helpless, they build, they can be trained.

Thankfully the people of Ukraine are welcomed still all over Ireland, I see flags in support of them everywhere. They are trying to survive an invasion by a much larger oppressor.

I want no part of your nasty, insular little hole that you find so attractive. It's my country just as much as yours and I simply want the true picture to be looked at and addressed.

The arsonists are criminals, full stop.

There is nothing else that speaks as loudly as to how wrong persecuting the helpless is.

In a democracy peaceful protest is a healthy asset, crime is not.

Criminals need to stick to drugs really, if you are going to break the law, you are better aiming for something with a bit of profit in it are you not?

Allegedly, DNA evidence from the looters who left their old sneakers after them, a goodly number of these guys would be "known to gardai" anyhow, it wouldn't be their first rodeo.

The reason there has been no arrests (bar the political arrests of the councillers in Galway) is because these are all lone wolf acts. They are not connected (apart from in objective) so it's not a case of anyone directing the actions of the perpetrators. As much as some here would love to think there is a sinister right wing Whatsapp group plotting all of these fires, it is in all likelyhood a few of the locals in each area taking matters into their own hands. Unless someone is caught in the act or accidently torches themselves, it will be very difficult for the Gardai to catch them (especially as one poster believes the Gardai are lighting them all).

This place is a kip Joe

I'd have to agree

I consider myself centralist in my political ideals. The last few governments are becoming more and more left leaning, which is fine so long as the planning / running political mandates is done correctly... But it isn't

Lots of people are REALLY annoyed about what's happening. The conceitedness of housing immigrants, the lack of planning and worst of all is that you voice an opinion that doesn't match what those in power want; then you're branded a racist or a nazi or something along those lines.

Right wing is on the rise, there isn't a main stream political party yet, but that was the case in Germany 10 years ago. but now, over 250 seats are now occupied by Centre right or right wing parties

There is mounting evudence that they are related by motive. but not by perpetrators.

But definitely arson.

You post the same post on every site downplaying the anti immigrant motive and trying to infer other causes.

This has not been found to be the case in the last 20 fires and possibly 4 more before that.

It is tiresone seeing this denial being trotted out every time.

I don't think anyone even on the anti side believe the fires are not caused by arson.
