Protest outside Roderick O' Gormans home - read OP before posting

It was a new ministery created, I think at least Integration which imho should merge with Justice

The performance of the TD has nothing to do whether a mob should be allowed intimidate him at home. But yet we still have posters here using this act as an opportunity to attack his politics.

There are working class communities who've witnessed their communities suffer from under investment, housing shortages etc and they are angry and frustrated, elements of the far right have sought to exploit that anger pointing the finger at migrants. It's a play book we've seen before. The irony is that the none of these people leading the protests have been campaigning for their communities. Gavin Pepper in Finglas for example has never done anything for the people of Finglas, he's a loud mouth bigot blaming migrants for issues they're not responsible for.

Coppinger has about as much chance of being elected as winning the lotto.

PBP in for a roasting in the election.

"I work with migrants every day and some are the finest but as many more are welfare migrants who never intend to do a days work and will receive free housing to disadvantage the working migrants and our own young people by driving up housing rent and prices. This is the crux of the problem laid bare and simple."

Say this loud and clear as there's a good few posters on this site who are inclined to ignore the 'bad with the good' bit.

Indeed. There are lack of facilities; schools, GPs, public transport. There was no protests about all the underinvestment until migrants came in.

Just to be clear.

House owned by person A.

Person B arrives, and throws banners / posters, etc. onto the external walls, gates of the house owned by person A.

That is not a crime, okay.

Therefore, can person C arrive, and take the posters/banners down, and that not be a crime?

The thing is, I'd be pretty confident that this very same lot are the same people who have gone library to library to protest LGBT books. They just wanna cause trouble and any subject matter doesn't match their basic ideals results in it.

Agreed.

It wasn't right when Paul Murphys socialist goon squad barricaded Joan Burton in her car in Jobstown either.

The idea that the far right have a monopoly on unsavoury acts of protest isn't borne out by the facts.

As always we need more moderate voices and less attention should be given to anyone else.

I’m indifferent towards this

I would certainly not participate or encourage it.

Interesting to note the group behind the ROG protest and who is involved in that group

Excuse me, but there have been local people protesting about closure of regional hospitals and schools and so on for long before these times. What rock have you appeared out from under?

There has been an awful lot of people making a lot of fuss without asking the relevant questions. Do you not think its suspicious that his armed Garda detail apparently sat and watched on while an alleged 'group of masked male protesters' erected protest banners outside his home? When compared to what happened in Newtown Mount Kennedy during the week when an elderly man was hauled away and man hand on the ground by the Gardai thugs for hanging onto a wooden pallet. These examples are endless. The fact Gardaí said they maintained a presence until the group dispersed, later confirming no arrests were made. It was either staged or those people were not breaking the law. Attack on democracy this. Attack on democracy that. That's all we are hearing but in any other functioning democracy, police would have stepped in and removed at least the banners. The people would have been detained, questioned, unmasked and/or arrested under public order but no. The Government needs a timely distraction to manipulate public opinion when its' failing immigration/integration policy is questioned by the voters. It was only last 2 weeks ago Newstalk reporter Paul Connelly went undercover with an award-winning BBC documentary maker, Darragh Adelaide of People Before Profit, and Antifa members dressed up pretending to be ‘the far right’ attempting to cause sh*te to provoke a reaction. This is not the first time they've done this.

So as far as I can see the only person to gain from this bullsh*t is the O’Gorman himself who was under enormous pressure this week for misleading and lying to the people during the referendum campaign, all to distract from the referendum’s failure as well as the extremely democratic EU Migration Pact, just as the riots in Dublin City allowed the government and the media to deflect attention away from children getting stabbed. And then for it all to lead to the Green Party’s conference where O’Gorman gets to invoke victim status and be stunning and brave. It's all rather convenient. There's an awful lot of hysterics and hypocrisy of course…

Minister Humphreys says intimidation of politicians ‘An attack on our democracy’. ‘Do you know what youse boys do? **** off and leave me alone’: she tells two journalists when asked about her derelict flats. She’s well able to handle herself. I can't see her being attacked.

There's no reasonable case to protest outside anyone's house wearing masks and putting up banners denoucing that person.

Did you ever get to find that invitation @Geuze ?
