It's a new plantation. It has to be reversed now so future generations don't suffer the consequences.

The security at River Lodge in Newtownmountkennedy today.
They used to bring down loyalists from security firms in the north to do the jobs Irish people didn't want to do, but they're no longer needed.

The Pat Kenny Show
Pat Kenny says public representatives in Wicklow told Newstalk that they were not available to publicly discuss the scenes in Newtownmountkennedy yesterday.
One councillor said he would be afraid to "rile up those in his area."
John Mooney, crime and security correspondent for the Sunday Times, said it was only a matter of time before protesters engaged in more serious types of violence.
"This isn't going away. This is evolving."
"So what we're probably seeing at the moment is the start of a much more significant problem that is going to manifest itself in the coming years."

Reminder:
After the George Nkencho shooting and protests started in Jan 2021
The protesters attacked people in Blanch shopping centre.
Attacked passing buses. Attacked passer-by in Hartstown. Tried to drag a man out of a van. Shouting at people in a locked shop to ‘DIE WHITE BASTARDS’. Attacked a woman in a car park. Called for the death of Garda.
No riot police or baton charges. In fact, the Garda drove away.

UPDATE #Newtownmountkennedy
Drone footage taken last couple of hrs:
- migrants NOT moved in to site yet, last night's blockade worked
- locals predict arrival of migrants IMMINENT as soon as site damage repaired
- sheer scale of site shocking, could hold 1000 migrants it seems. For reference: Newtownmountkennedy has a population of 3000. There is a GAA club next door, a young girls' team was training last night a stone's throw from the site
1000 unvetted migrant men would destroy community life there.
