Leo Varadkar whose constituency includes Blanchardstown is yet again asked straight-out now in the Dail by Richard Boyd Barrett if removing Debenhams stock is "essential" or prohibited under the current lockdown.
And the response?
"There are sad aspects" to this! https://t.co/lTkayVTScr— nwl (@nwl88444048) April 1, 2021
This afternoon.
Earlier…
Gardai deployed around 4am to break up picket at Blanchardstown #Debenhams & allow 4 trucks remove stock in a level 5 lockdown. Women/ men, including myself, were carried off by about 25 gardai. Opted not to use injunction but to physically haul us off & assist strike breaking. pic.twitter.com/oFnSixLgZj

This morning.
Blanchardstown, Dublin.
Meanwhile…
We should note mobilising of gardai for strike breaking against #Debenhams workers, rather than going after the likes of the Beacon golden circle or #LeoTheLeak, who ironically is the minister allowing this non essential business & a local TD of these workers in #dubw

In fairness.
the shades are not exactly covering themselves in glory these days.
Gwan the RUC. At least they didn”t shoot anyone.
Know your overlords
…can we get a statement from the minister,who appears to be MIA again.
resign ffs.
yanks cant stand him,big trouble ahead over lack action on Pat Finucane,strained times for FF/FG in NY and DC…..with strong irish representation in bidens DC, but its not from the ireland fund wing or ff/fg axis,now is it….
its looks like our Ardoyne,they really have become a occupying force loyal to the crown and brit interests.
And then we have RTE apologizing to Donohue for having the audacity to ask him about John Bruton putting VAT on children’s shoes.
