Yes, that is how you solve the problem of too many refugees being in one area. You burn down what little they have and then go on the internet to take issue with the tone of how it is reported not the arson itself.

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.

This is part of my issue, it gives a bigger voice than deserved to the right.

This is a failing in communication by the government that exasperated a festering issue when it could have been avoided.

Well for one I didn't do this so I didn't "then go on the Internet".

My point is that they didn't get any other avenues to resolve the situation of too many refugees in tiny village with a low population.

So arson?

Same guy making the same style of stupid comment.

Because you won't fucking address it. You posted an entire screed praising the brave work of freedom fighting arsonists against a government that horror upon upon horrors put some non-white people in a town fleeing their homeland. So until you address you BFFs who quite literally burned down a place for refugees people are going to continue ask you to address it.

It is like that old Kids in the Hall sketch where a guy takes issue with being called a murderer not because he didn't commit murder but because no one is mentioning all the times he didn't commit murder.
