I saw this last night - hopefully the rights of the dead and injured burglars carry less weight than those who appear to have been defending their property. 
(Although I admit to a great deal of speculation here on my part!).

It's an interesting situation all right. I've had a few fraught conversations on the subject lately. Definitely some nasty ideas being pushed around more than they need to be.

ye tricky alright, although as a non national living in ireland iam not about to get my pitch fork out.

i think a lot of the more extreme stuff is being promoted by the same people who started the anti lockdown stuff, which i find the switch scary.

that said another news article said there were 75 social houses for rent in cork and in 2 months they had 15k applicants!!
