Around 80 members of the Sallins community took part in the inaugural demonstration against any plan by the government to accommodate asylum seekers at the local Waterways hotel this evening.
Some of the participants carried placards reading “Sallins Says No” and "Sallins Says No To Unvetted Men.”
Another read “Stop. We do not consent. This is a planned invasion on the community of Sallins. On the land of Éire. This is not acceptable."
“We are dealing with enough crises in our own country. My fear is that they are unvetted. Our safety cannot be guaranteed by the gardaí,” said local woman Ciara Timmons.
Fianna Fáil TD James Lawless said he is deeply frustrated at the lack of coherent communication on the proposal from his government, but he is aware that at least six other Kildare towns are set to be hosting asylum seekers shortly.

IRELAND IS FULL: Richard Boyd Barrett Can't Answer Quiz at Quiz Night

Malone spreading disinformation again.
No tents were burned on Sandwith Street. After Trotskyists abandoned the shanty town they had constructed illegally due to local opposition, and decided to squat in a retirement home for elderly people in Phibsboro instead, some of the rubbish they had left behind caught fire in mysterious circumstances.
But as long as he's spreading the right kind of disinformation, I guess the factcheckers will ignore him and the government cheques can keep coming in.

Confirmed: The Gables Guesthouse & Leisure Centre is getting 100 asylum seekers, all men.
I'd hate to be the person who has to clean up the gym, sauna and steam rooms after them, probably be some foreign wage-slave.
A pop-up NGO 'Newbridge For All' is already being advertised by Social Democrats Cllr Chris Pender to feign support for the decision from the community.

The hilarious gallows stunt outside the Dáil on Wednesday is being investigated as a potential criminal offence under various legislation including incitement to hatred, public order laws and laws against threatening or intimidating behaviour.
However, some gardaí are sceptical that the investigation will result in criminal charges as cases have been submitted to the DPP before regarding material at public protests which some people found offensive, and in all such cases, the DPP declined to bring charges as they viewed the actions as falling under the right to free expression.
I don't personally support the re-introduction of capital punishment as it has resulted in completely innocent people being put to their death. It can also compel guilty parties to enter not-guilty pleas leading to lengthy and distressing trials for the victims which sometimes fail.
However, I totally get why some campaigners support its reestablishment and it's their right to campaign for it.
I also understand not everybody finds the campaign funny, but there are many campaigns I haven't found funny either like Kathy Griffin's campaign to behead the President of America in a gruesome ISIS style execution, but many people did.
Anyway, if anyone does get lifted for this, make sure to assert your rights and say nothing before getting legal counsel.

Michael Healy-Rae response

A couple of great callers on Red FM in response to Micheal Healy-Rae's remarks about the Dáil protesters being dole scroungers.
Susan (at 2:10) also talks about how she hosts international students and she's constantly fielding requests from people in safe parts of Ukraine looking for accommodation in her home under the ARP programme by which they tell her that our government will pay her €800 a month to house them while providing them free university education.

Liam Herrick from the ICCL has been all over the media in recent days to qualify what is and isn't legitimate protest. Spoiler alert: He's decided the Dáil protest was not legitimate.
But Herrick is not the neutral observer he is presented to be as this clip shows, where he proposes that 'direct confrontation' by ANTIFA thugs against people whose politics he disagrees with 'might have a place' in a democracy some times.
When the National Party were attacked at their ard fheis by men wielding an assortment of deadly weapons, where was Herrick to proclaim it an 'attack on democracy'?
Where was Herrick when ANTIFA openly threatened online to carry out assaults on participants of the Time For Change rally before being thwarted in their subsequent efforts by fast-acting rally goers.
Where was Herrick when the US embassy issued a warning to its citizens to avoid the Dáil as their intelligence services were aware violent thugs intended to attack the peaceful #LetIrelandLive rally?

🚨 Community Alert for Dún Laoghaire
Foreign men have allegedly been spotted taking photos of the children at the Summer Family Funfair in the harbour area.
One mother says she saw an African man following a 6-year-old girl from ride to ride taking photos of her until she warned the girl's father who then took his child away.
She says the man then continued to take photos of other kids so the mother stood behind him and noticed that he was posting the pictures to Messenger.
She asked him what he was doing and whether he had kids at the fair with him. He replied that he didn't and then claimed to only speak French.
A fairground attendant subsequently told the mother that she had problems with the man taking photos of kids before and that she had called the gardaí on him many times.
She said three other foreign men subsequently showed up and also started taking pictures of children. When she confronted them and told them to stop, one laughed and said 'okay'.
Photos of all the men have been sent to gardaí.

Flashback to 2010:
'Demonstrators protesting austerity measures throw fireworks at gardaí protecting the Dáil from anarchist groups,' reads the subheadline in the Guardian.
But look at the precious picture they selected to accompany the report.
Here's what Mick Wallace, who would top the poll in Wexford in the general election the following year, had to say about the protest:
>Mick Wallace, who has had to lay off 100 of his workers due to the crash in the construction industry, said it was time the Irish became more militant: "We are far too quiet. We should be more like the French and get on to the streets more often. Because our politicians go over to Europe and tell the EU that our people do not demonstrate, they don't take to the streets. It's time we changed that and openly opposed what is going on.

I had some criticism of the 'TURF THEM OUT' poster campaign because I thought the dark background made it difficult to discern at distance, but it has generated a lot of publicity, featuring in Saturday's Irish Times and on Ruth Coppinger's twitter.
