To be fair, I don't think anyone had moved in there yet.

There is nothing new here. There has always been a vocal, violent, right leaning minority in Irish society. There have been two instances that have made headlines around the world in the past few weeks that may make it seem like Irish society in general is leaning further to the right. I hope this isn't true.

It didn't work 23 years ago in Tipperary, it won't work now. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/fire-at-hotel-for-asylum-seekers-1.264123

They'll claim the insurance, rebuild the hotel and refugees will move in anyway.
