Facebook posts on Roscommon eviction incident ‘unacceptable’, says Taoiseach

Calls on social media for violent attacks on the bailiffs in the Roscommon eviction incident are akin to “incitement of hatred” and “unacceptable”, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said.

This week, after the violence during an eviction in Strokestown, Roscommon, posts on social media called for the bailiffs involved to be shot and fed to pigs, while a manager at KBC Bank was told he was a scumbag who should be in a coffin.
