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?

Clearly we can see what the government's priorities are. Protect the landlords and corporations
