A massive eviction is underway in Dublin. It is at the complex of occupied houses and former factory spaces in Grangegorman. Reports indicate that at 7am in the morning a very large number of private security angle grinded their way through one of the metal gates, invaded the area en massed and are erecting barriers (pictured) inside and trying to evict the occupants.

Baliffs at the attempted eviction of Grangegorman have turned very violent. Two of the residents were injured by rocks thrown at them, others attacked by metal bars.
A few minutes ago the bailiffs drove a van into the defenders with people being knocked over. People were being dragged under and could have been killed but the van was brought to a halt by protesters.
Someone on the scene said "Heavies just used a van to pull open 15foot gate with people on top of it. One person fell after being hit on the legs with an iron bar. They rammed into a group of protesters with the van who were sitting on the road. 2 people were run over. We begged the guards to stop them. They did nothing. Some video footage was destroyed on site. People are still resisting."
It appears at around this time one of the protesters was knocked off a wall and is now unconscious. One person was also ran over by the van and has a leg injury. Two fire brigade and an ambulance are now on the scene. One of the injuries appears to be serious
Garda are present but have taken no action against this thuggery. Support is wanted.
Ze hebben gewonnen, de panden zijn weer in handen van de krakers!
