This happened on my way home from college on Friday its absolutely outrageous behavior by a Garda on Henry Street Dublin. A homeless man was treated like an animal, when a Garda tried to arrest him [for reasons unknown] he pushed him against the floor and pepper sprayed him right in the eyes when the man was clearly not making any sort of an attack or movement towards the Garda. He then stood there with his leg on the man as if the man was going to run somewhere.

Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union (TCDSU) have unveiled their new #RingYourGranny video, encouraging young people to talk to their families surrounding the upcoming same-sex marriage referendum. The video (above) , which features a number of Trinity students calling their grannies, parents and families, is part of TCDSU’s wider voter registration campaign, which managed to register 3,100 students in Trinity in November. TCDSU are setting their sights high, and hope to register another 1,000 before registration closes on April 29th.
