East Wall protestors march to the Dublin Port Tunnel Image: Jane Moore/The Journal Updated 20 minutes ago

Protestors are blocking the entrance to Dublin Port & Tunnel on East Wall Road, by Tolka Quay Road. Traffic is blocked in all directions but the road into East Wall is now open.@TFIupdates@DCCTraffic@dublincityfmA group called The East Wall Committee released a statement apologising to commuters for blocking the Dublin Tunnel but claimed their “actions are regrettable but necessary”.

It also said that “protests will escalate nationwide if this government does not close this centre in its entirety”. Gannon added: “What started last week as part of a larger cohort of people from the north inner city and East Wall discussing how they weren’t informed or didn’t feel consulted has very quickly descended into what I will only describe now as a far-right rally.”

Totally agree with East Wall protests. We have a few hundred Albanians moving into an office building beside us in Cookstown I E Tallaght in a few weeks. No planning or consultation. Thet should be rehoused in RWANDA

👏👏

Well done .I think all of the UK should start .

Were not the Workers Party once funded by Moscow? Payback time to undermine the hosting of Refugees and support Putin's War?

Imagine campaigning to make asylum seekers homeless. Imagine choosing that hill to die on. Could be campaigning in support of Irish homelessness charities. Could have joined the Rally for housing last weekend. But no. Evicting asylum seekers.......

Good, close it!!!

White Britons to be a minority by 2070 & Islam the major religion. How soon will Ireland lose its National identity due to foriegn influx. Perhaps they will drop the Irish language & replace it with Arabic

Wasters

Gwan The East Wall !! 👊

Go protest in front of politicians houses. When do you people understand that you only anger general public. It need to hit the ruling class where it hurts them, otherwise nothing will change.

That's such a good idea

Great stuff keep it up!

Sounds good.

Good on them. What's going on in East Wall is a disgrace.

Horrible racists. Can we vet them also?

The state of England, Belgium, Sweden etc.. Ireland next if we’re not careful, well done all 💪🇮🇪

They will just move them down the country

It's every second day so they can harass people in other places on the off days.

They have my support, good on them...

The Irish in the country town need to start blocking roads

Dehumanising

Is Ireland shrinking!

About time Irish people stood up to the invasion of their country by military aged males facilitated by the WEF owned politicians in the 33rd Dail IrelandisFull

Love looking at all these foreigners living here and sf /fg/ ff supporters calling ordinary irish people . right wing racist fascists ! Change the record . Ffs !

Good! That's how it should be done.

Drive over the cnuts

Now thats what i call protesting

We will not stop till there gone I'm not far right far left I'm a dad who has daughter's who will not be put at risk by Roderic o gorman or anyone else for that matter who is he to tall my 17 year old she can't go for a jog in Fairview park or my nice can no longer walk to school

Yeh try listening to the locals that own/live in the place, just an idea....

Protesting against the Irish people from going about their livelihood and business. If they want to protest against the government then go to Merrion square and protest and block their movement.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nice one .. Well done

Well done. This plantation needs to stop. Irelandisfull

Military aged men from safe countries, they are not asylum seekers

EastWall

How do community's raise a concern? Government have removed all forums. Communities using demonstrations to highlight issues. Government not providing answers, only calling the public racist to avoid honest debate. Government is losing public support around the country.

And as the days pass, their numbers get fewer and fewer. Soon no one will report on them at all

Power to the people EastWall

Good, it's a problem across the country, time to STOP this madness

Good for them! Lets see those imported DREGS being bused over to Dalkey or Howth instead.

Interesting how the journal can change the title and contents of an article and leave the old comments up.

Asylum seekers? Social welfare migrants is what they are !

'Racism has no place in our society': Kensington Palace condemns 'unacceptable comments'

Time to move the asylum seekers to Dalkey. Much safer there

Amn mhaith

Injunction time

Well done, East wall 💪👏

Well done to the people of East Wall. Ye have led the way.

Say no to this right wing fascist bile

My bus will have to be diverted and it will take atleast another 40 mins to get home.Why can't you protest outside Gov buildings and let us get home 😫😫

Why don't they simply relocate the refugees to a more accepting community? Foxrock and Dalkey are lovely

Now are you or Fg or anyone else sure that this isn't 'More Far-right activists' or are they just maybe, maybe people who are very❗ concerned. Or theycould be 'Far FAR F.a.r Left' or even Farrrrrrrrrrr, Farrrrrrrrrr lefttttttttt......🥱🥱🥱

Why are they blocking the Port Tunnel? Can they not go to government buildings if they have a issue? I do know the protest has been hijacked and most locals don't agree with them. EastWall

Well done locals, standing up for their area.

👏👏👏

Brilliant stuff. Full support 👊

East Wall resident says there were 'no right-wing people' at protestOne East Wall resident has said there were 'no right-wing people' at Monday's Dublin Port protest. who cares if there was ? it's not a crime to be right-wing, the people of italy and sweden voted in right-wing parties due to the disastrous immigration policies pursued by left-wing politicians, same will probably happen in ireland in next couple of years I'm not rite wing garry Gannon will get s slap for calling me right wing im there for my daughters not politics O'Neill not have potential predators Living beside my child gary simple as dat u wanna have them move them in wit u there not watching my child go to school Seems to me that the East Wall residents group have been brain washed by this far right RTE fantasy talk. They shouldn’t pay it any lip service or attempt to explain themselves. It’s pure nonsense.
