[QUOTE="Kimeartimmyboy, post: 7428776, member: 12335"] Great post Ollie. It's probably the most divisive issue in Irish politics right now. I, and a few others, saw this coming long down the road. I think, North Wall was the big one. Up to that there had been rumblings that were largely NIMBY protests out in the sticks and didn't really have much of an impact on the news. Then there was COVID, which seemed to radicalise those who were in all honesty, just waiting to be radicalised by anyone other than the Left. I remember(don't ask me to find it) telling Soundy that the SF support base will dilute over this and he was adamant that it would not be so. They've (thankfully) changed their tune recently and taking some kind of stand, when previously, you had the likes of T Gould saying on radio, "lets not turn this into a political issue". And this is the problem. All that time local political leadership was lacking/absent when it came to engaging with communities about what is happening to the make up of their towns. 0 foresight with regard to potential problems arising out of dropping large concentrations of people into already struggling infrastructures. Into that void steps Blighe and his kind. How in the name of all that is decent, can a clown like that be seen as a viable alternative? The thing is, he's on a bit of a roll if social media vox pops are anything to go by. And the secret ballot box will allow many to vent their misguided frustrations/closeted bigotry without shame. Straight Fail for all who claim to represent their respective communities on that front. I have my own views on dealing with this that involve compassion for what are the most desperate and vulnerable people on this planet but not at the disregard for those who are already here. Thing is, I am struggling to find a party, right now, that express my feelings. [/QUOTE]
