On Wednesday, the president signed the Health Amendment No 2 Bill which will allow indoor dining to reopen for the fully vaccinated and those who have recovered from Covid-19. “An Garda Síochána considers any suggestion in respect of the threat to use violence and / or perpetration of violence in a general sense or against named individuals or organisations as a matter of serious concern and could potentially be subject to criminal investigation in respect of such matters.”
“We work closely with the Gardai and provide a number of ways for them to contact us and report content,” the spokesperson said.
By signing in laws reducing our civil rights and creating a sectarian Ireland, he has betrayed the people who voted for him and all those that support a democracy of equals. TraitorsOfIreland
That will be the room in Garda HQ where all the giggling is coming from Is this going to be the shape of Hate Legislation Application Fine if there is a serious substantial treath rather than just vexed frustrated public lobbying to get presidential support for their cause
Are they investigating the rumours that he's gay and having it away with one of hid Garda security detail? Can't wait to see that report! NotMyPresident
Did they examine social media posts that threatened people with conservative views? Or is their policing partisan?
Stop giving cover to violence inciting white supremacist organised fascists. It's a fucking disgrace. This is not journalism.
And yet actual assassins, bombers and murderers are in our Dail.
When Joe Biden is saying deletefacebook things are bad. As long as facebook exists stay on it imo fight back against the nazis.
EamonnVIDF Referring to far right groups as 'anti-lockdown groups' is like referring to Hitler's Nazi Party in the 1920s as an 'anti-Versailles Treaty group'.
The Journal calling violent inciting neo-nazis & fascists, the organisers & leaders of these rallies, 'anti-lockdown protesters' is a fucking joke & NotMyPresident was started by fash You are misleading the public! VaccinePassports Stop supporting fascists organised protests!
Start here..
The truth is that SOME gardai are not even allowing people to make proper statements about potentially identifiable individuals urging that Michael D be assasinated. DM me - if you are a journalist - for details.
'A statement from a spokesperson for Facebook said the platform removes accounts that “repeatedly violate our Community Standards”. BS, facebook is riddled w/ extremist fascist shit, incitement to violence, dangerous anti-science BS Facebook is talking shite HELLO EamonRyan
That's ok, I call him Mehole D! Gardai going through social media 🙄 Only in Ireland! Facebook Cult Bullshitting about their 'Community Standards.' They monitor & look for 'reasons' to block U if U criticise Irish Establishment Naive Irish voted Mehole D & his unvouched Expenses
If rodericogorman had taken action a yr ago against an identifiable nazi party member who organised anti lgbtq+ 'noose' rally & incited violence against him publicly online, fascists would not be so emboldened. Ordinary ppl w/ zero resources/protections are threatened constantly
How come he signed that document? Its very sad.... Very sad!
They were a right shower of scumbags. Whats the alternative, shut hospitality down for another 6 or 7 weeks?!
Probably want to know if he has a back bone signing in medical segregation they won't find one
Anti Lockdown Groups? Should that not be Freedom for All Advocates, Very poor wording.
they better do more than examine ffs
Maybe if he wasn’t such a spineless leach he wouldn’t be getting any abuse ?
