There a fundamental misunderstanding on the election of far right Cllrs. Maybe its a self-soothing? "These far right ones will be in for a land when they realise how little they can actually achieve of their agenda😂". Completely wide of the mark. They're not in it to help people

Images of people shouting at & abusing kids as they are escorted into accommodation in Roscrea, brings back images of the Holy Cross children running a gauntlet of hatred in Belfast. Shame on these "protesters" #Roscrea

You don't get to put up a checkpoint, board a bus, count & film the people on that bus, then demand people stop referring to what you've done as intimidation. You don't get to demand an apology for how you're portrayed, especially when you're responsible for how you're portrayed

It's illegal to name anyone under investigation for sexual offences in th North, including non-recent/historic crimes. You can be arrested and any trial could collapse because of your comments on social media. Don't be that person, fFs!

So it turns out that the latest "peaceful protest" by locals near Corofin attacked a local pensioner last night, struck him in the eye with a torch & he wound up in hospital. "Local vigilante group set up to protect locals, attacks a local" #clare #Corofin
