13) Looking at the landscape of #SocialProblems in #Ireland, lack of affordable housing may be one of the triggering items for the #DublinRiots.
Let me be clear, not everyone struggling with the #IrishHousingCrisis riots, but it is likely one of the fault lines used by #FarRight agitators to trigger violence especially when tied to #migration pressures
The #IrishTimes has an excellent article ⬇️ on those whose housing circumstances are challenging

12) There is no unitary explanation for last week’s #DublinRiots. Those who participated in violence had a reasons peculiar to their own experience. Much as we may wish for singular explanations, solutions to the street rage will likely be manifold, if there is enough courage to look at the event without bias and simplistic prejudice.
Let’s stipulate that the rioters did not participate motivated out of satisfaction with their current life situation.

I think Una Mullally is dead right, the important conversation we need to have is less about how to “solve” the immigration “problem” and more importantly asking and looking at actually why people are so angry and upset and how and by whom it is being directed and used to further these disgusting political goals.

Hearing Irish politicians refuse to acknowledge the systemic failures, and instead dismiss working people as "scumbags" and "thugs", I wanted to write and share some thoughts:

When asked to plead guilty or not guilty, Markievicz replied: “I do not recognise this court. It is not constituted legally, not being based on the authority and will of the people of Ireland but on the armed force of the enemies of the Irish Republic”. 2/2
On 2nd December 1920 Countess Markievicz was charged with conspiring to ‘organise and promote’ Fianna Éireann for the purposes of ‘committing murders of military and police; the drilling of men; the carrying and using arms; and the training of recruits for the Irish Volunteers’. 1/2

It also reached the top 10 in several other countries including #Canada, #Ireland, #WestGermany.

@historyofpunkrock Here's an interview I did with Shane MacGowan in 1994 for the *Irish Post*.
I first met Shane at a *wild* Cramps gig in London in 1980 (Bryan Gregory on guitar), way before he started the Pogues. He really was an incredibly intelligent and gifted person, very well read, quite sensitive and not at all like the image the music business machinery forced upon him.
And over the years he helped and inspired me in many, many ways.
I am sad at his passing but glad that he is at his rest now. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

#France said that the European Union should consider imposing sanctions on Israeli settlers who attacked Palestinians in the West Bank. One of the options raised in the past in consultations between EU member states in Brussels are to declare a black list of extremist settlers who will be denied entry to Europe.
[...] U.N. figures show that daily settler attacks have more than doubled since Hamas' surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7 and the ensuing assault on the Palestinian enclave of Gaza. More than 200 Palestinians have been killed in the violence this year, including in attacks by settlers.
This is the first time that #France is raising the possibility of imposing sanctions against violent settlers. Previously it was countries like #Ireland, #Luxembourg and #Spain who expressed their concern.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 112.
Paul Lynch's #BookerPrize winning Prophet Song (2023) warns us about the precariousness of liberal society. The mother's relentless interior monologue explores how we might react as a society breaks down from authoritarian rule to civil war & eventual #migration of victims. While one might argue that this is a developing country story reset in #Ireland merely to enhance Anglo-saxon empathy, this resetting is what emphasises its warning

This is a very interesting take by Fintan O'Toole on the historical context of the recent riot in Dublin. I am not knowledgeable on the subject so I'd be interested on what others, better informed than me, make of his analysis.
@clickhere @dublininquirer @SimonB The Housing Act doesn’t need a “habitual residence condition”, government needs a humanity condition where if you lack it, you can’t serve.

This is fine.
