Credit where credit is due.

The only reason we’re not waking up to images of far-right protests and violence is because of effective policing work over the last number of weeks by @gardainfo.

We can be quick to criticise them, only fair that we praise them too.

G’wan the police state.

~~Nuremberg Rally~~ Herbert Park, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 yesterday

No matter how frustrated you are, please don’t join the anti-lockdown protests today.

The far-right is at the core of these events. They cynically abuse people’s anger.

They aim to drag Ireland backwards. They oppose democratic rights and want brutal oppression.#NotInMyName
