As I arrived to join the protest, you could feel the tension in the air. A great crowd had turned out. After seeing drone footage, it was possible that over 20,000, if not more, had gathered. I have never attended a protest like this. With slogans being chanted, “whose streets, our streets”. Ireland is slowly descending into a depression, where I can say when is enough, enough. I see we can’t even find homes for our homeless people, yet we invite people migrating from different nations to our beloved country and house them instead.
Ireland is first losing its Irish Heritage with the likes of us being called half breads by our leadership, it’s shocking, and Irish residents can’t find homes, but we house others and pay their way. There was a time I was for it could work but after seeing the Irish come together now, I am beginning to feel this is our last chance to try and save the Irish heritage. Our next generation has been priced out of the housing market. Is it time to say, let’s look after the Irish people first?
When we can’t even sort out our housing crisis and build more homes, sometimes your eyes have to be open to it. And I do see this getting worse before or even a big if it gets better. Let’s hope and speculate that we can fix this before things get out of hand. Should there be a snap election?
