@ClarkeMicah Yes, there are Garda immigration/passport checks on boats arrival at Dublin Port from Holyhead (both Stena Line and Irish Ferries.) I use the service about four/five times a year.
@DaraghCassidy I walked through there not so long ago...saw quite a few e-bikes going way too fast, weaving around pedestrians. (Same with Sth Anne Street.)
@mullallyelaine Not just the nationality but country of birth, ethnicity etc. The Parnell St convicted attacker was a so-called "naturalised Irish Citizen" - a meaningless term. Bodies like the CSO/ESRI use the words "national" and "non-national" quite a bit which can obscure the full picture.
@DavQuinn Yes - one perfect example is VW laying off 100k workers and closing multiple plants due to "a costly shift to electric vehicles and growing competition from Chinese automakers." https://t.co/FZMU2FMqmp
@LarryPDonnelly Is there a single example of a J1 student with all the correct papers (and no criminal convictions) being "picked up off the street," detained and deported? I doubt it.
@KeithMillsD7 That's a much clearer clip than the one shown on RTE News. Shows the group being allowed to pose for a few pics before being asked to move on by police as they were blocking the arrivals hall.
@Nick_Delehanty Much of the desolation in town centres is down to so-called "Living Streets" and "Active Travel" initiatives on the part of local councils. (Following the attack on Gardai in Capel St, local business owners reported that the street had gone downhill since pedestrianisation.)
@ExCllrRedmond I wish they'd get their story straight: Commenting on the results of the Worldview survey, Dóchas CEO Jane-Ann McKenna said: “Last week’s ‘European State of the Climate Report’ shows that Europe is the fastest-warming continent on Earth.https://t.co/whgozhO6xb
