Thugs.

Raised beds that are part of the community garden at the squatted complex in Grangegorman, Dublin 7, photographed in September 2014. Local families have worked at the community garden, and some of them came out on Monday to show their support during the attempted eviction.

Rosie and Jason (they didn’t wish to give last names) outside the ‘squatters’ complex in Grangegorman in Dublin where the attempted eviction by security personal took place last night. Some reports stated that security were using anything from golf clubs to hurleys. Jason is walking with a crutch after being struck on the shin with a metal pipe.
About 30 people are squatting on the site. Behind the houses is a large communal space which is used by all of the neighbors, not just the residents, for growing food, playing games, watching movies, exchanging clothes and books and a general meeting space. Before people moved into the location the area was used as an illegal dump, filled with glass and concrete.
