Well done to spice bag. Freedom of expression is a wonderful thing

Respect is earned, you shouldnt just respect Garda siochana because they exist!!!!!

Great piece of artwork!!!! Highlights a truth in my opinion.

Fionnan Sheahan made an absolute show of himself here.

Fionnan, as a journalist, believes that his opinion is the only one that should be allowed in a discussion and that questions he asks are best answered by himself.

Is Claire running this show or Fionnan Sheahan? Well done to Adam Doyle.

How did Spicebag keep the cool at all, well done. As someone else commented it's not satire it is the disturbing TRUTH. Ireland is still in regressive postcolonial mode when it comes to the most basic human right of all - housing.

This shouldn't be considered satire, its clearly a mirror image of what's happening today, and what happened when the Irish bent the knee to landlord-ism under the British. Brilliant Meme / Art whatever way you look at it, very hard to argue with

It's a pretty, Sheeran don't question politicians like this, and force a answer.

Art and Music, the most peaceful way,of making people aware of a serious political situation. SPICE is now a famous artist nationwide...."They never came home" by Christy Moore also got the chop from RTE...Long live the Artist...

'Forced to defend'? That's stretching it now. He has nothing to 'defend'

Gardai as protection for greedy landlords is an obscenity and Eviction Ban should be extended at least a year. The Conservative Coalition that has failed to fulfil their sworn duty to serve the people of Ireland and overseen a chronic housing crisis are the ones who should be defending their selves, not an artist whose imagery makes a salient point on the venality of the politicians in thrall to their donors.

Now we know why we don't get the news from red

An artist is entitled to a political opinion and to express that opinion through art. For Fionnán Sheehan to suggest that the works are 'politically motivated' infers that the artist is about to run for office.

Brilliant- what's the problem with Ginger head - fragile wee man or is it his mortgage he worries about

He don't have to like the Gardai .. they can be critiqued like everyone else and there's nothing wrong with being politically motivated. People in America critique the police all the time because that's democracy and some police in that country even quit their job because they didn't feel right upholding laws that went against their conscience.

From Kelly Harrington now this Artist issues like this and the reaction shows quite clearly nobody is allowed have an opinion that goes against The most powerful in our country

I really don't get their point in saying it's disrespectful to the Guards....they did this. They literally carry out evictions, spice bag doesn't, they do. So the argument is that it isn't fair to scorn them for doing something wrong?

Irish governments borrowed 200 billion euro and used that money to inflate house prices. This policy had knock on implications for the rental market and new construction. The answer is simple. Deflate house prices by 200 billion by taxing all houses but exempting houses to be built from this point forward. This would stimulate new builds because there would be a big demand for houses that are exempt from the tax. It would also cause all the houses that were built before now to become affordable because anyone who has one would be paying the tax needed to repay the 200 billion that was borrowed to inflate them in the first place.

When she says "Adam is here as an artist", his smirk is everything 03:28

Fionnan is not an NWA fan by the looks of things

He is telling the truth end of spread the picture ...

Didn't the garda help the uda drew brought down 2 drag that old couple from there farm house in sligo, when the got dog shot and vans burnt

Fionnan sheehan and his false outrage he clearly doesnt understand art. Art is political and that is why it can be so powerful as his piece of work is. Fair play to this artist for his freedom of expression .

Vincent Browne put Fionann in his box numerous times, and so did Spice during this show. You should have also shown George dont wear short skirts or you will get r-ped Hook ,he was the same show,the dirt bag

You just know Spicebag is already working on fionnan sheahan satire image 😂

The recent Irish census 2022 reads as follows 10% of the population on 50% of the land and 70% of subsidies grants ,...40% of the population on 39% of the land and 80% marketshare ,,,and 50% of the population on 10% of the land which mostly comprises public space national parks etc...Never in Irish history had there been such bad land management and never have half the Irish people been on less than 10% of their own country...the remaining 1% comprises embassies ,state buildings airports...that's the true picture in Republic of Ireland.

Nice to see a man confronted with his crap.

A thatched roof in the west coast of Ireland is a rounded roped and peg biomass roof with thatched straw the by product of a wheat harvest or rye harvest ..the Midlands have a half hip gable of reed or straw as it is less wind exposed...the Skerries is a vertical thatch of "fletch and wangle" the others horizontal....this doesn't come up here in design ... furthermore the traditional wheats barley , oats and rye iof this country which a physiological health relies for wholefood ...have had their patents sold off clandestinely to foreign corporation' .... this artist and his thatched roof tells s story and not just the one portrayed here ....one of design, vernacular,region distinctiveness ,the roof over our head and food in our bellies...being enroached upon by cosmopolitan managers masquerading as politicians.who are conditioned to be hostile to metaphysics and our geomorphic heritage....and their lackeys.!.. Call a grain tribunal to investigate instead of looking our to sea for the grain ship from Odessa as they would have you ..any wonder we have so many coeliac' in the country ?..the true meaning of this work is we have gone from thatched roofs over our heads ,to robbery of our wholefoods in return for Llyod George Bangor blue slate to now prices over our heads...the country needs grain to.keeo "regular"... including the Garda and stool softener will only get them so far...for the Garda and government truly have their "sh**te to do !

Fionnan Sheehan is an embarrassment and made a show of himself on live TV 😂

Fionnan Sheahan is an utter dreg!

The fine Gael political Micky mouse jaurnlist having one of his tantrums

Spicebag is a ledgend

The gardaí chose a side and it isn't the side of the Irish citizenry

Does Fiona come from a Garda family?

another classic example of Fionnan sheehan being the bully that he is. Just look at his face the man looks like he was stung by a wasp. Hes supposed to be a journalist relying on the freedom of the press to write stories. but of course hes the only one with that privalege. Ordinary citizens are entitled to an opinion. This man made a piece of art which makes a point very well, whether you agree with it or not the artist is entitled to his own view. Art is meant to provoke discussion, thought reflection thats what makes it so valuable.

Always the dodgy haircut on Sheahan..

But it’s perfectly ok to constantly call ordinary Irish women and children “Farrr Right” who are genuinely concerned about military aged men mass immigrating into our country. To censor their voices dismiss and deride them?

I want to see he's art lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Excellent Debate, now we need one about Mass migration causing the housing shortages crises

Well done Fionnan!

Where can I get a copy.
