Civil disobedience is creating a serious discussion and awareness on housing in Dublin - is that not a good thing for all of us at the end of the day? Law breaking just because people feel like it is wrong and will not add a single dwelling, and neither will Coppinger with her "against everything" attitude.

That maybe so but do you not see the problem in front of your nose? There is a housing shortage. People are stuck renting paying crazy money.People are living in hotels and on the street. Nothing is being done. Ignore coppinger , the protesters and the police and look at the problem

The traffic into dublin every morning starting back at naas shows how many are travelling to the capital to work. why previous governments didnt build upwards in our capital city especially is unbelievably short sighted. Our bed has been made now we must sleep in it. The protests are serving a purpose as its keeping the issue highlighted as the shortage affects us or people we know. The way it was handled is truly Irish though. A rusty van with balaclava wearing heavies with the riot squad on site to keep the peace. But those protesters were on private property and had a court order to get out. What a **** show of a country
