- Shocking and disgraceful scenes in Dublin last night. But always a tiny minority and in stark contrast to Irish communities' proud history of welcome. Immediate Government action needed to protect people. Well done to those who came out to protect. 📷 @bradshawphotos
- Extremely distressing day and evening in Dublin. Deepest sympathy to the children and woman attacked. Our unswerving solidarity and support to all people seeking protection and refugees at this very fearful time. Manipulation, hate and thuggery will never win.
- Our thoughts are with the families who have been moved in. We are hope the families who had to pass by the standoff are not too badly affected. We hope the people of Roscrea can now welcome and support people in the hotel. Human beings are now involved.
