Dáil Éireann Free Speech Rally Turns Violent

The Free Speech rally outside the Dáil on Wednesday 20th of September descended into violence due to a handful of aggressive agitators. It's not clear if they were infiltrators or just angry protesters. This is a massive turn-off for those in the middle ground who don't yet understand the seriousness of the situation and feeds into the notion there is a 'far right' in Ireland. Most of the protesters were there to highlight the shocking rise in excess deaths in Ireland since the roll-out of the trial Covid-19 vaccine, the dangers of open door immigration policy, the sexualisation and mutilation of children under the LGBQT umbrella and a whole host of other issues. These important subjects get ignored when violence takes over and becomes the story, giving those who conspire against us an excuse to shut down free speech and kill free and fair debate. Ireland is a conservative country and these scenes repel Middle Ireland who still don't understand how compromised the media and political system has become and continue to tune into RTÉ for their news. Is it time to find a new way to get our point across that does not leave us open to infiltration or aggressive behaviour that then becomes the headlines and tarnishes the movement?
