Jim O'Callaghan and Fianna Fáil are asking you to pick a side.
The choice is between them and the landlords and moneyed classes they serve, or between ordinary people and those driven from their homes by war or poverty or oppression to seek a better life.
I know what side I'm on.
No pasarán.

He was a terrible person. Many scientists knew this and still named buildings after him, still invited him to conference dinners. They should be reminded of this now.
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Make no mistake, this excavation wouldn’t be happening if Catherine Corless hadn’t stuck her neck out and defied people telling her to leave it alone.
But the scale of this is unimaginable. It’s not just M&B homes, it’s laundries, it’s industrial schools, it’s giant psych hospitals.

Remember - if it's OK to call @paulmurphy.pbp.ie et al "far left" or "hard left" for saying that people deserve homes and basic services, then it's entirely OK for you to call politicians "far right" and "racist" when they try to blame a housing disaster they created on immigrants.
