"Is this the road we're going down now, to go lockstep with many other European countries in terms of brutalised repression against protesters?"

Horrifically violent footage from Saturday. And still no statement from Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan, nearly a week on.

Powerful people hate being answerable to anyone. We know the need for that accountability, as a nation, from our history. That is why judicial review is written into our Constitution. That is why it matters so much.
They hate it.

Let's hope they are back in use soon

Dublin is plagued by derelict and vacant sites; here are some examples in and around Phibsborough, Dublin 7, as shown in my graphic.

Another record 16,353 people, including more than 5,100 children, are now accessing emergency homeless accommodation in Ireland.

Putting you down in any way at all. "Joke", a snigger, anything. Also not communicating and listening to your needs. Never asking about you. Loads tbh

This is now the blueprint for men to control trans women. Have sex with them and then threaten to go to police unless they do what he wants. It's ripe for abuse from men who will weaponize their shame. It also builds their narrative of trans women being sexual predators even when the victim.

I wrote an article in January about where we have ended up in English law re. "deception as to sex", and what that means for trans people. I think it's likely we can expect to see more of these sorts of cases going forward.
