Not a good look for the guards here. They seem to be the ones escalating the situation.

Hope to see more Garda action like this. Protestors on this issue have been conducting themselves terribly for nearly two years now.

It’s about fucking time.

That riot gear and the demeanour of the officers looks more or less as though someone had dashed into the station and shouted to anyone wandering in to grab anything black they could find, even wellies, and it’d be grand.

The calls of “women up front” and some other one shouting about letting in “murders and rapists” didn’t do them much good.
More response like this is what is needed. It should’ve been done last summer when they were out blocking roads.
It looks harsh but necessary given what you’re dealing with and to prevent it from escalating into a riot.

The camera person seems to have copped proper spray of the stuff near the end.!!!!!!!

At the end of the day what are these protesters going to do!!! Why not let them do their protesting for 5/6 hours making there noise and give them a feeling of achievement.
These protesters are not violent so why ta fuck antagonize them with Garda using violence against them, this is not France ffs if the pigs just leave them alone they will eventually leave. It seems to me that the law is the problem in these scenarios.

I think it’s quite telling that the same people who are vocally criticising the Gardaí for escalating this situation were practically cheering the Garda response to George Nkencho.

Interesting thread, very polarised views!
This issue is not going away, in fact it’s worsening. The tinder is set, another serious crime by a migrant will be the spark for all hell to break loose.
I can see 2024 being known for the “Summer of Riots”.

Watching the Video there is no violence until the Riot Police charge into these people.

Guards escalated when they should have deescalated. Poor policing.

A Policing strategy of swiftly meeting “force” with “maximum force”, sees the situation disperse, minimises prolonged engagements and allows for immediate command of the situation…public order unit arrives under 60 seconds they advance…fair play to the Guards we need to see more of this happening.

Blaming the Guards for heavy-handed tactics is a learned defence. It was a constant excuse used by English football hooligans back in the day, but sure, birds of a feather…..

Good to see the guards finally starting to deal with these scum

Protesters are only get more tooled up, protestors might attract a scumbag element, but there is a critical shortage of accommodation in the country and it’s only getting worse, the government don’t seem to be listening to the public and are insulated from that problem

I wish they’d do this for the coolock scumbags

If the government doesn’t dramatically change this will only get worse.
Today you’re calling them scum. Next year, if things continue until they finally affect you personally, you’ll be out and others who aren’t affected yet will be calling YOU sucm.
