    I’m not surprised . I don’t need therapy . Their naievity is laughable unless it’s all just PR . Exactly the same thing happened in the past and the results were so different to the PC media hype.

    Did you ever have direct experience of an event that was covered by the media. From my own experience and from talking to others in a similar situation we all agree that the media misshapes it. They give their own spin. Going back to Marian there is an official line to which everyone has to adhere. Failure to do so is more than likely to result in not being invited back again. The media is not neutral, it is pushing hard on an agenda. A minority views that they are trying to make majority.

    Would you suggest the guards should be better equipped?
    Armed perhaps?

    The Gardai have access to weapons if they require them.

    And yes, the Gardai need much more equipment and resources to cope with gangs coming from the cities and with traveller crime.
    We don't require more legislation what we need is a government intent on sorting this problem out and applying the law.
    Perhaps the 52-55% of the electorate it is claimed are finally awakened might consider that when going to the polls to elect people who can ACTUALLY do something about that.

    I suspect though they will spend an energetic week fulminating and hero worshiping Peter and when he doesn't get elected, cry 'fix', and 'pesky SJW's'and then disappear into the ether again.

    I don't know who the people in the travelling community are voting for on Friday but going by their Facebook pages. It's not Peter or Michael. Just from what I've seen.

    There are houses available for the homeless, the family are happy where they are.

    What's the issue here?

    Travellers HAVEN'T got what they wanted (despite claims to the contrary) and houses are lying empty because a Co Co won't take the advice of the people who DON'T WANT THE HOUSES.

    WHO is the problem here?

    So the travelers are told houses are being built just for them, they watch them be built and when they are finished being built, they say they don't want them.

    Who is the problem here?

    Maybe I should get on board with a "philanthropist" who funds a campaign for the repeal of the eight amendment (popularly viewed as something imposed by the Catholic Church and which was obviously not fit for purpose) by having its activists dress in black uniforms.
    Soros stinks to high heaven, or even your spaghetti Western version if you care to examine what he's been up to.
    Except the money didn't go towards the referendum campaigning and the case was quashed. I'm perfectly aware of the pretty good work that Soros does. I'm also aware that the likes of Hungary which have banned his org are much closer to an actual dictatorship than Ireland.

    I have direct experience of a full page article on an individual I know.
    The article was all about someone in a wheelchair being thrown out of a hospital to a hostel.
    The facts were the woman had had a stroke abroad due to alcoholism and even had drink smuggled into her in intensive care. She arrived back and got a bed in a public hospital and refused to leave, the hospital eventually packed her bags and she had to go to the hostel. She refused to stay in the hostel and took a taxi back to the hospital and they refused to admit her, she had occupied a bed there for months and the staff could do nothing for her.
    I read all these articles now with distrust, they are usually written by Kitty Holland or some other feminist twat. I stopped buying the Irish Times too, it used to be a decent paper but has too many feminists now pushing their odd agendas.

    an actual dictatorship ? what the fcuk does that even mean...

    hungary have a democratically elected government , you mightn't like them but they are miles away from being a Castro or Daniel Ortega administration so beloved by our President.


    They said Bertie was telfon but ffs Bertie never had the media sown up like Higgins. Even Kim Jong-un would struggle to have the media support Higgins has :pac:

    No doubt, the travellers are part of the problem here.
    They have stated quite clearly that the houses are no good to them and that they don't want to move in.

    Over to you Tipp Co Co, - you have 900 + people on the housing list, what are you going to do? (considering that they cannot force the traveller by gunpoint to move into somewhere they don't want to go)

    Condemnation of the Travellers involved won't butter the parsnips of the 900+ on the housing list.

    It clearly means tin foil hat. Search online for a tin foil hat. Maybe a visual aid will make it clear.

    I think the bould Peter required a few squad cars to get him to his Photo Op (it was of very little other use) in Tipp the other day.

    By initiating anger and hostility towards others. The intention may not be to cause violence but that may be the outcome.

    I said "closer", when your government is cracking down on NGOs and introducing laws that could have existed in the early 1930s Germany. It's fair to say that they're moving closer to becoming an outright authoritarian state. One example
    www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/19/hungary-anti-immigration-plans-ngo-tax-orban-bill-criminalise-aid

    So fair to say they're closer to a dictatorship than Ireland which is considered free while Hungary is dropping in freedom indexes.

    Why is it done now, he doesn't live there his son does.

    It's his home. I live five minutes away and judging by Garda presence he's there once every 5/6 weeks and will be returning there post-Presidency. And is thus accorded security measures.
