Met some community activists from #Roscrea at an anti-fascist training workshop today and the amount of abuse they have received for standing up for refugees has been horrific.

One of them had their car completely burnt out . These are just local volunteers and not members of any organisation.

The left in Ireland is mostly in denial of how serious a fascist problem we have and how it’s only going to get worse.

Start organising now peeps #SmashTheFash

In response to fascists protesting and harassing asylum seekers & refugees and spreading anti-immigrant propaganda in the county of #Tipperary a group of us have set up an anti-racism network.

We’re a mix of community & grassroots activists from #Roscrea in the North to #Clonmel in the South.

If you’re interested in getting involved to help combat the spread of far right hatred, give us a follow.

If you're riled up into action by far-right agitators, you agree with far-right claims, you protest with the far-right, and you march behind a banner with a far-right slogan, then I've got news for you: you absolutely are far-right.

Education sources in Roscrea have told RTÉ News that "there is additional capacity in schools in and around the town, and an examination of Department of Education enrolment data bears this out.

"The data shows how one very small school in the town was on the brink of closure last year, down to just 11 pupils."
