Meanwhile…

Incredibly, it’s the @IrishTimes that’s sharing that picture of the ‘fire’ at #Lidl – This photo was from a fire in German in 2016 – It’s not from the digger / looting story at #Tallaght #Jobstown #Fail #FakeNews pic.twitter.com/ITlnX7nhFg

To the pitchforks!

Thanks John Gallen

Update:

Two politicians react to the #LidlLooting that took place last night. One grew up in #Tallaght and one did not.

One has respect for the people of Tallaght and one does not.

After the disgraceful scenes at Tallaght it’s a pity the news media don’t show what happened last night in Clondalkin when a fire engine got stuck.

In fairness.
