This is not the Community of Coolock: After the Protest Finding Positive Ways Forward

In this Reboot Republic, Rory discusses the fallout from the protests in Coolock and finding positive ways forward for communities with Cllr John Lyons, Cllr Daniel Ennis and Niamh McDonald of the Hope and Courage Collective.

We discuss the strategy of the far-right and leaders spreading hate, the fact that the protests and violence does not represent the majority of the community in Coolock, the contradictions in the policing and state interventions, the need to engage in dialogue with communities, and not talk down to them but rather work with and support communities to get proper resources from playing pitches to playgrounds.
