@NursepollyRgn If we can ban inter-county travel and limit everyone else to 5k, then we can apply the same rules to EU and non eu citizens who travel here. As for the North? Go and work out a deal. That's what you're paid for

@jonsopel Why did the police get involved? Why didn't the bouncers just handle it? He was escorted off the grounds by another officer and 2 bouncers. He seemed quite a gentle fellow from the videos I've seen.

@NiecyOKeeffe At the end of the video, the nazis can be heard mocking the arrival of the public order unit. Maybe there were arrests then, but I haven't heard of any. That mysogynist abuse that female garda recieved was appalling. Imagine having to go home to your family after that day at work

What about disabled passengers? Cop yourself on. All vehicles need to pull into the kerb for legitimate reasons on any sort of road and cause obstacles.

@MaiaDunphy My mother was a World Champion Irish dancer. She was from a working class family that had emigrated to London. On the way to Dublin on a ferry to the World Championships, one of her rivals threw her costume overboard. That was the 1950s.

@JoeBrolly1993 I was in 1st year when that happened and he's only remembering it now. How can a nite club owner drag this out so long? We all heard the people who were there say the doors were locked. That was 40 years ago. I hope there's some sort of justice for those families.

@JoeBrolly1993 Unionism failed. It failed to stop Home Rule - North and South - , it failed to keep all unionists in Ireland happy and it failed to hold onto power of a protestant protectorate with an industrial heartland. Why? Because it was never designed to be democratic.
