An absolute disgrace and embarrassment. Peaceful protests being shut down, but far-right agitators spreading hate and inciting violence? That’s apparently graaand
The right to protest being eroded here in Ireland too. Fair play to these women; not allowing our politicians to sweep genocide under the rug. #FreePalestine #MothersAgainstGenocide
Thought experiment: Conor McG and some of the 'Coolock says Nein' soreheads do exactly what these ladies did, but chant "Ireland for the Irish" instead. Are the Gardai going in to drag THEM into the paddy wagons?
Based on their past behaviour, I wouldn't bet the farm on that.
Absolutely outrageous. If they were far right thugs they wouldn't touch them. So brave, arresting mothers with a conscience.
But let's be clear, the Gardaí were directed to do this from higher ups.
Poor gov TDs couldn't risk facing legitimate questions. Cowards.

Constitution says "The right of the citizens to assemble peaceably and without arms.
Provision may be made by law to prevent or control meetings which are determined in accordance with law to be calculated to
cause a breach of the peace or to be a danger or nuisance to the general public and to prevent or control meetings in the vicinity of either House of the Oireachtas." I didn't see them being asked to move and I'm sure there's another door too.
