Citywest protests, Garda van on fire **Mod Warning in OP**

If the local residents want to peacefully protest about this why don't they use what has always been the traditional time and place to hold a protest march in Dublin ?

Saturday afternoon from the Garden of Remembrance down O'Connell St with speeches at the GPO or outside Govt Buildings etc.

You will get a bigger audience and more coverage and it would be a far better opportunity to make their case

Why do it outside a asylum centre at night ?

Any decent person with an ounce of common sense wouldn't be caught dead around the Citywest Hotel, knowing full well that it is an act of intimidation towards its residents to gather outside IPAS accommodation. If you want to protest over government actions, do it at government buildings, not at this site along with all the other scumbags intent on causing chaos and intimidation.

Nothing to write home about?

The numbers have been enormous, add to that the government is about to take an absolute shellacking in the presidential election.

For all the big talk of immigration online if the government collapsed in the morning a more stricter one is unlikely to be elected. Asylum numbers are going down and Jim OCallaghan is pushing hard with deportations. (Even deporting kids for God sake) The plan to end direct provision also seems to be going nowhere under this government.

Scumbags outraged and involved in this are the same ones that wanted McGregor for president.

A bait garda van left for torching hahahahahahah get off the Internet, you are deep deep in it

Every single person I have spoken to condemns this kind of needless and pointless violence .It brings nothing to change what is the huge issue for most thinking people . The same people are well aware of the problem non control of immigration brings. There are genuine immigrants who want to work and are working in health etc , there are genuine asylum seekers who are fleeing war and need our help .And then there are the free loaders and we all know that they are coming for our benefits . Now the huge problem is that the genuine people are getting less help , less comforts , less support because the Government choose to all the free loaders in which dilutes the help offered to genuine cases . The more come the less resources and help is available so our money is being spread far to thinly and the genuine asylum seekers are getting less and less supports .

Immigration has to be controlled , organised and facilities available .None of this is happening and its making people very angry ,. Yes I am angry at Government policy and would protest peacefully to make the Govenment aware .But I would not dare go to a public protest because of my fear that scum take over and loose complete sight of the real issue .

Our Gardai did not cause this glaring problem , the Government did and flinging bottles at Gardai is simply scum rioting to show off to their peers and for the sake of it .But the rest of us are silenced because of them and we cannot speak up without being called racist . We quite simply need control and we need a task force now to regulate the arrival and deal with it quickly and affectively . This problem is not going away and something needs to be done very quickly

Worth pointing out that these are also the very same people who were delighted to have the support of Conor McGregor...

It shows what the real agenda is. Words can mislead but actions are always truthful.

A bait Garda van? Jaysus! That is some serious coping!

Plenty of middle class leftists and pro establishment bourgeois who currently benefit from the status quo labelling working class people as “dole scum” and “the dregs of society”. These are the same people who also labelled the water charge protestors as scum, happy to bend over and take the charges. Many of these same people would have denigrated the Easter Rising rebels in the exact same way.

These protests do nothing except give the scumbags something to do . I would bet that the majority of the troublemakers didnt even know what the protest was actually about, but just saw an opportunity to cause mayhem

What has destroying a gardai van got to do with protesting, what has trowing bottles got to do with protesting

Nights like last night does nothing except give the government a diversion

Lets talk about the damage that was caused and not the fact that the government yet again failed the people by not following up on a deportation order since earlier in the year, and that Tusla yet again failed to protect our children
