Treehouse getting rattled over likes

Poor creeps, lost in translation again. It’s amazing the simple stuff that goes completely over your head?

The Gardai aren't useless, they are hamstrung by a snowflake Justice minister who is so far out of her depth, "the crims have rights" my hole they do. You should read the regs and paperwork for using paper spray.
They will do f'all till that case against the garda doing his job is sorted as well.

The gardai weren't required to use pepper spray, all they had to do was stop the person right in font of them, who happened to be a journalist, from being intimidated and man-handled, the notion that they can't do that because of an inept minister is ridiculous.

They just stood there like dummies, then two other guards walked past as if they were out for an afternoon stroll.

I'm sure the Garda Commissioner and the Public Order Unit will find your tips on crowd control extremely useful.

The RTE Investigates show didn't even scratch the surface of the background of Paul Collins the owner of the site in Coolock.

Collins was portrayed as almost a philanthropist who wasn't providing accommodation for just profit. In reality since 2021, his company Townbe Ltd has pocketed over €43 million for housing refugees in rundown buildings, all paid for by the Dept. of Children.




You'd think this would be a bigger story than one or two knuckledraggers using racist language to security staff.

That is unbelievable.
Will Rte investigate ever do a report on this.
Hold on though, god knows how many politicians have their paws in the pot here.
Yep show the scumbags, proper order too, but not a snippet on this con job.

I'd be inclined to agree with you and I'm sure RTE just cut all the footage down to the worst incidents, but the scumbags that were depicted should be locked up. They were attacking regular security staff with families, threatening to follow them home and murder them, as well as make shooting gestures at their heads and say "bang bang this is how we do things in Coolock". That sort of thing is serious and those responsible should get lengthy prison sentences. "youse are dirty fucking traitors" "youse are dirty n**ger bastards" "youse are paedophiles"
I know the security staff hands were tied, but if some Canada Goose wearing scumbag said that to me I'm picking up a rock and smashing his fucking scumbag head in. absolute vermin.

I take anything RTE says about this as kowtowing to the government. They know which side their bread is buttered on...

Cabinet agreed a new hybrid funding model that will provide some certainty for RTÉ over the next three years.

It will see RTÉ receive a guaranteed €225m in funding from both the licence fee and the exchequer next year, rising to €240m in 2026 and €260m in 2027.

Why should it have gone into that? That is not why the protestors say they are protesting anyway, and if it should be gone into then it a separate documentary/investigation as the one on Thursday night was never supposed to be about that.

And is what he is doing illegal or something? No, so why does it warrant an investigation? Yes he is making money out of it but again what is wrong with that? It reminds me of the attitude towards all developers after the crash. I’d have a problem with it if the properties do not meet the standards required, I would have a problem with it if he was getting preferential treatment or contracts…………and of course I’d have a problem with it if I was against asylum seekers being given accommodation!!

Its funny you should mention that. Coolock site owner Collins was......bailed out by NAMA to the tune of €45million




What was very funny about the RTE Investigates show was Collins claims that he has had to flee the country (he’s in Lisbon).


Obviously pure coincindence that with his slum accomodation posting €43 million in earnings from the Department of children that he is residing in a country with a favourable Non-Habitual Residency tax regime. Poor old Paul has to endure 183 days in Portugal PA and his Irish earnings are tax-free.


The refugee and asylum seeker accommodation business is booming and operators like Collins who had their previous debts wiped clean are making an absolute killing.


But yeah racist language from two or three neanderthals directed at security on Collins Coolock site is the real story here. And if you believe that you will believe anything. ?
