Worth pointing out that the article in Broadsheet (which is somewhat controversial in my circles for courting far right hits) starts off about People Before Profit - a solid left party. Protests have been ongoing in Ireland for years. Sometimes involving police brutality, cack handedness and political prosecutions of protestors. There are constant protests and have been for years. And they are left led. There has been a housing protest once or twice a week foe the last several months. There was an occupation of a commercial buklding squatted into homeless apartments this time last year. There are bigger things than this on every weekend and they are left wing protests. This is just the media focusing on the their favourite topic: the far right.
