Marriage equality event changes venue amid fears of far-right protest
Briefly

The Labour Party was forced to relocate their event in Dublin due to safety concerns amid heightened tensions surrounding an international protection centre's expansion proposal. Originally set for The Hen's Teeth venue, the decision followed threats of demonstrations against perceived 'leftie nutjobs'. Local opposition has arisen, notably from the Dublin 8 Says No group against the expansion, citing safety issues and aggressive incidents at the centre. The management's choice reflects the complexities of community sentiments tied to immigration issues.
Events like this are indicative of the rising tensions in our community regarding the international protection centre, especially with concerned neighbors and local protests.
The management of The Hen's Teeth took safety into account seriously after knowing about planned demonstrations and decided it wasn't worth the risk for their staff.
