I am very surprised you haven’t seen fit to draw the attention of your readers to the behaviour of Mr Mannix Flynn towards the Occupy Dame Street protest. Why is this? It would seem the good councillor is somewhat to the fore of having this protest removed. So,why not let your readers know about that and comment? From Saturday’s Irish Times:

The Independent councillor Mannix Flynn, who describes the protest as “past its sell-by date”, raised it at the council’s economic and planning strategic policy committee last week. It is examining the issue “as a matter of urgency”. “The council is not very proactive on these things,” he says. “It won’t act unless they receive a complaint.”An “official complaint” has now been received about alleged planning violations by the erection of semi-permanent dwellings, according to the council. “That matter is being investigated,” says a spokesman.
