Jesus Christ. That Garda was close to getting mobbed. Dreadful.

It's not good how incensed people are. But people get incensed when they are not leveled with. Still not good. It will be people looking for aggro taking over this.

Stuff of nightmares literally mine included. Hope the critical people are ok and that teacher must be an absolute hero. Only in her 30s. I believe it was a Brazilian man who got the knife off him. Incredibly brave. I see there is denial of terrorism - I am thinking that means no links to any terror...

I'm seeing video of riot police and clashes but I can't verify if it's now.

It's going to be a tense night. People are very angry. I think coming on the heels of the murder trial of recent weeks, there's a lot of anger. I don't see how this serves anyone. But that's easy for me to say living far away from everything. These people live with the problems of lack of integratio...

A protest is happening in Dublin All traffic and public transport through O'Connell Street has been blocked by protesters gathering near the scene where three children and a women were stabbed on Parnell Square. A number of buses cannot pass the group to turn onto the street, while the Green line Lu...

This is the statement from the Gardaí

I hope the child and woman who are seriously injured will make a full recovery.

The people who disarmed the attacker are heroes. Also the first responders - some photos out there that show in their faces how traumatic it is for people who have to deal with such incidents. Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has said that he is not ruling any motivation for today's attack in or out. ...

Looks like it was a completely random attack. Children exiting the school attacked by man with a knife. Seems like the quick and extremely brave actions of bystanders has prevented something even more terrible. The incident took place outside Gaelscoil Coláiste Mhuire on Parnell Square East as child...

Emergency services at the scene of the suspected stabbing in Dublin city centre. A girl and a woman have been seriously injured in the incident. Three other people, including two other children, have been injured. It happened outside a girls school on Parnell Square at about 1 pm. It seems people d...

I'm not posting any more about this in the immigration thread as we have no idea who did this. It was just where I read about it first. It could be anyone. But whoever took a knife to three children is a monster. I'm brought to a halt here with shock about this. Apparently they are all about five ye...

Jesus Christ that is awful. I hope the children are okay. What a dreadful thing to happen. I don't know if it is immigration related. Nor do we know re the older woman stabbed in a random attack on Chatham Street last week. Or the 70 years old woman dragged along by a car robber in Roscommon yesterd...

Looks like big hair is having a moment. First Argentina, now that hotbed of far right politics, the....er, checks notes.... Netherlands.

Hamas were voted in 17 years ago. There have been no elections since. I've seen plenty of videos and writing of people saying they don't reflect the majority. Sure, some crazy extremists, the kind of men who gathered in the street to spit on bodies and hit the hostages and whoop and cheer, and the k...

No. They are not freedom fighters. They are vile barbarous monsters. They have brought disrepute to Islam. They have painted a picture of Muslims who resist as being capable of utterly demonic acts. They are exactly the same as ISIS who have traded for years in captured, gang raped Yezidi girls and ...

Meet Francis, our pine marten. He may look like a cutie but he spent half of last night and most of this morning testing our windows to see if he can get in, and we also suspect he has made off with a kitten who used to visit. Cuteness can be deceptive. https://i.postimg.cc/52nWt2mW/IMG-20231121-145...

Why is terrorist in commas? Anyone who shoots a girl in the head mid raping her or drags a gang raped girl by the hair from the back of a jeep isn't even worthy of the name human, but they are certainly terrorists. No inverted commas needed

I haven't gotten to the cobwebs inside yet

It was a very green car.

On the subject of cars, I think some of ye might have had a coronary if ye had seen the amount of moss and algae I hand washed off my car yesterday.

When there are too many pears and the weather is grim.

It's a student. I don't know if they can be expelled, although a threat of repeating October 7th certainly seems to me to be hate speech and incitement to violence. It's coming to a point where I loathe that phrase Allahu Akbar. In Muslim countries where I have been in the past it was the phrase con...
