'If people are saying they have a problem with the Government then why are they doing it outside of that building there [the ESB Office Block]. The Government don't sit there'

East Wall locals have slammed the "embarrassing" protests calling for the removal of refugees from a former ESB office block.

"If people are saying they have a problem with the Government then why are they doing it outside of that building there [the ESB Office Block]. The Government don't sit there." "I'd say there are local people but not only. There is some kind of hatred for the way they perceive the Government is ignoring them and helping foreigners. I think that is where it is coming from."

Chef Paddy Twamley, whose family first lived in East Wall nearly 200 years ago, said he was "embarrassed" by the protests and what has been said at them. He said: "There should have been more information given to the residents beforehand.

East Wall protests 'now a far-right rally' - Gary Gannon TDThe protest movement in East Wall, Dublin against the housing of asylum seekers has become a “far-right rally”, local TD Gary Gannon has said. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. And this is why we call him Gary Gammon. He's incorrect.... Groundswell of diverse support for East Wall around the country. Straw polled a few people around D7 over the weekend gone. People who would normally be very accommodating are now past their red line on this issue.

They shouldn’t pay it any lip service or attempt to explain themselves. It’s pure nonsense.
