Bad enough the Gardaí gave free run to the far right for years.
Bad enough arson against immigrant centres became standard practice for racists.
Bad enough we've already had race riots.
The Taoiseach & Táinaiste poured petrol on all the above during the week, & we shouldn't be shy in saying it.

I wrote this before the arson attack/attempted murder of IPAS residents, and pretty much everything Harris, Martin and O'Callaghan have done and said since has proved me right - when it comes to the far right, they absolutely have no idea the harm they are doing.

Either he knows exactly what he’s doing or he’s genuinely too stupid to be leading FG & should be removed because this was Simon Harris just YESTERDAY:
Simon Harris has said people ‘on the left’ try to ‘shut down’ debate on migration
The comments come after Harris was criticised by the opposition for “going down the Nigel Farage route”.

The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%.
And the gap is growing.
Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.

With justification, we worry that political violence is driven by irreconcilable differences between two sides with different visions for the future of the country.
But maybe we should worry more about violence from people who can't imagine any future at all. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/m...
