  1. Wow. It’s almost like ignoring and tolerating the far-right is bad for everyone.

    When they were targeting libraries, refugees, brown people, leftists etc., the government didn’t give a fuck. Hopefully, now that they are being targeted, they’ll actually do something about it.

  2. Public office holders addresses are available on the registry of electors in your local council office. They’ve always being open to the public

    Helen is under pressure. If this sort of thing escalates she may actually have to take action. She’s been getting away with her in the sand since the November riots.

    A monster of their own creation, goons feel like they can do anything they want because the Guards hide in their stations. When people saw Gardai afraid to enforce the law on criminal gangs or people taking the mick they realised with enough violence and intimidation they would be able to get away with similar actions.

    We all know who these usual suspects are, the drunks, the psychos, the roving gangs of feral kids and teens, junkies and people of criminal backgrounds.

  5. There’s no reason for home addresses to be published on the register these days with the amount of absolute headcases about.

    This needs to change. The information should be redacted.

    > In total, the home or street addresses of nearly 20 TDs **can be found with simple searches** […]

    They ‘leaked’ the publicly-available home addresses? What a load of alarmist bollocks.

    Receiving threats of violence on the Internet is virtually a right-of-passage for practically everyone who e.g. ever plays an online game – and, just like the archetypal kids making death threats in Counterstrike a quarter of a century ago, it’s nearly _always_ a fuckwit making a non-credible threat.

    You will regret throwing away liberties, for a little bit of faux-safety. When you regret it, it will be too late to restore lost liberties.
