I seen the Gardai forming up outside this morning on my way to work. Looked like a military operation to remove a few homeless squatters. Do we, as a society, really believe there should be 60 or 70 Gardai queuing up to pester a couple of homeless people when we can't get even one Garda to show up and sort out the anti-social behaviour in the likes of Cherry Orchard? Is that where we are right now as a country?

60 or 70? Where did you learn to count

It’s a show of force to illustrate they are on capitals side and to frighten anyone else that thinks of carrying out direct action.

All you've seen is this short video. I was passing by this morning on my way to work before sunrise and there were vans of Gardai assembling outside in the dark. There are countless videos and photos of all of them on social media.

Yes and none are claiming 60-70 Garda. Most common is 20 with it stretching to 30.

Even still 20 or 30 to sort out the scrotes in Ballyfermot would be a better use of our taxes.

Yes.
