You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the right.

Not only do we have a far left in Ireland - we have far left TD's in the Dail. But you already know this.

All these protests are by criminal thugs, whatever they claim to be, left or right.

what about Muslims coming from an islamic country eg Saudi Arabia and a Christian community there trying to build a church. Or we allowing free speech here in Ireland but an Irish person in Russia trying out a bit of free speech in Russia, etc, etc, etc, etc.

We need to take note of how other cultures operate before we decide to allow a free for all re anybody that wants to come to Ireland whenever they want to

I would strongly oppose such authoritarian censorship measures

The far right are their own worst enemies, they completely discredit themselves upon opening their mouths

Try to control political narratives like this is fairly sinister

The ones I've dealt with in this manner? Tend to flounce, or rely on "But Sweden"

So, evidence?

So, what's your assertion? Lay out your view.

Asking "so, evidence" when as of yet I've not made a claim on any societal or criminal matters? Is a tad premature and not really the gotcha you're no doubt self congratulating yourself on Tom.

When I make a claim of such? I'll be happy to support it.

So the far right have gone too far because of Clonmel, no mention of the fact that Clonmel site is immediately adjacent to a halting site whose residents are doing their damnedest to stop the development going ahead.

Nope, it the boogeyman far right

Disrupting graduation ceremonies is worse than murder now. Comical. 😂😂

from what I can make out there is not much of a difference between the far right and the far left. I think that they both draw their visual support largely from the ‘rent -A- crowd’ . I could be wrong but would there be some truth in saying that your typical supporter - either in a physical /media/ verbal sence is :-

(1) looking for a ‘cause’ - a left or right cause does not matter.

(2) anti establishment - no Matter who is in power

(3) unemployed/time on their hands

(4) have a chip on their shoulders.

(5 are easily led

The left and right should be allowed to operate in the same way as all other ‘sections’ of society but ASLONG AS IT IS WITHIN THE LAW.

If the law does not capture where individuals /groups are behaving in an unacceptable way then the whole situation should be reviewed and the current law revised and updated accordingly - especially re intimidation, protesting outside private/family homes, interfering in people going about their daily business and on- line abuse. A revised law and body cameras will go a significant way towards this end

The whole intimidation, etc, thing is a new area of very unacceptable activity and a new area for the Gov/ guards to have a serious/mainstream involvement in so they need to recognise this and step up to the plate.

The above should be seen in the context that it applies to EVERYBODY and if anyone breaks the law they MUST be held accountable

The real question is ‘ will the law be adequately/ effectively implemented?

from what I can make out there is not much of a difference between the far right and the far left. 

Did you not make out that the far right are burning down accommodation centres, threatening and intimidating libraries, burning out buses and trams in Dublin while the far left aren't?

So none of the three that you originally mentioned have happened in Ireland, in recent times then?

How long ago are the Irish Water protests - must be nearly ten years now? Not sure that they were mainly far left organised or inspired, though the left parties certainly supported and encouraged them.

I don't remember anyone burning out any water meter depots, or burning out trams or buses because of water meters.

Obviously all of the 3 have happened recently.

Palestinian protests at colleges are happening very regularly (UCC, Trinity etc), we had riots after the Nkecho death which was cheered on by members of the left and Extinction Rebellion are active in Ireland and glueing themselves to things.

I'd argue anyone who thinks we can invite everyone into this country and pay for it all with sprinkles and rainbows and there'll be no issues does more damage to this country than a burnt out tram
