How a national story exposes a local Dublin 15 feud

    The Mairia Cahill abuse story that has made national news for many weeks now, took a bizarre twist with a Dublin 15 sub plot emerging.

    Anyone who is a social media user will know that the supposed anti-water movement is not as united as you would think with the left leaning groupings. There is in fact a divide. The socialists and the Shinners are knocking lumps out of each other and the Mairia Cahill Dail debate was given a D15 dimension when Ruth Coppinger spoke on the issue.

    Ruth refereed to a tweet from Sinn Fein Dublin west and Broadsheet.ie ran with it.

    Between now and 2016, the local factions seem to be going blow for blow.

    Are local Dublin 15 online users aware of the tit for tat war of words online between these D15 activists?

    I've been following it. The tweets from the 'anonymous' SF account, which may or may not have the brother of a local SF councillor behind it, is truly bizarre, and pretty shameful at times. Said person doesn't take criticism well either as he loses all ability to string a sentence together or spell when annoyed.
