  • The comments came after Gardaí and protestors in Newtownmountkennedy clashed last week as protests outside Trudder House escalated.
    Six people were arrested, and four later charged, in connection with public order incidents at the property.
    They were also alleged to have failed to comply with the direction of An Garda Síochána when told to leave the area immediately.
    All four were granted bail today with no objections, subject to certain conditions, and they are due back in court on May 9th.
    Local independent election candidate John Larkin said there was a “total overreaction” by Gardaí to protests and that they “absolutely” should have taken a ‘step-back’ approach.
    “The word in Newtown is concern more than anything, what are [the asylum seekers] going to do all day up here?” he said.
    He also claimed a large fire at the protest happened accidentally.

    Shame on Harris and govt who order the Garda go act in such authoritarian manner.
    Shame on Harris for unleashing these Garda equipped with helicopters water canons, riot uniforms, helmets shields, batons, pepper spray etc.
    Shame on Harris spending all that money in opressing the peoples voice, instead of investing in proper entry criteria, in robust border control check points, in effecient processing of those travellers arriving at our borders: The compliant tourist, student, worker; The Refugees from war-torn countries; The Asylum seekers; The Illegal immigrants. The latter category should not even allowed in at the border, but should be immediately sent baxk to the country from which they came. (There are other laws stating this)
    Shame on Harris for not spending this money in housing, healthcare , education, fishing, agriculture
    Shame on Harris for not listening to the people of Ireland.
    Shame on Harris for not even meeting the people , even, as he pointed out, people in his own constituency.
    Vote NO to this EU Migration and Asylum Pact; Vote No to any request from Harris govt /McEntee to
    "Voluntarily opt in", which would make it legally binding on Ireland.
    Leverage the unique protection that Ireland has agreed with the EU...see protocol 21.
    Every person in Ireland should bombard your TDs and Senators with letters Demanding they Vote NO.
