#theRant: Keep It Up!
As we sit here scratching our heads in bewilderment at the fact that we managed to make ten of these ridiculous fucking things, when we never even knew if #rabble1 would get past our late-night, round-table, mashbag discussions, this fucking madhouse of a country becomes increasingly unpredictable, leaving us to wonder if, just maybe, it […]

A Battle Fought Before.
In recent months there has been a plethora of housing action campaigns established, all wishing to raise awareness around the issue of working class housing (or the lack of it) in Ireland today. Donal Fallon takes us back to the crowbar brigades and squatting tactics of the 1960s’ Dublin Housing Action Campaign. The 1960s witnessed […]

#meEJit: We’re Adults! Get RTE Away From Us!
It is remarkable just how much RTÉ can chime with Irish government policy. Oireachtas Retort looks at Montrose’s latest offering of unreality TV. The broadcaster’s role in normalising austerity and undermining dissent is nothing new but their lifestyle & entertainment content is equally insidious. Think of it as Fáilte Ireland for the home audience. Towards […]

Recruits Needed For Our Workers Beer Brigade!
Win a front row seats for Manu Chao, Avicii and Paolo Nutini! Well, sort of! You must be willing to serve pints and take guff from customers! Us rabblers are looking for sound and reliable heads to work the bars at a few gigs over the next while as part of the Workers Beer thingy […]

About The Town?
If you’re about town tomorrow you might run into this lot pushing the harm reduction agenda hard and fast. They’re promising a stellar line up of talking heads and politicans including Aodhán Ó Riordáin TD and Minister for Drug Strategy, Luke Ming Flanagan MEP, Anne Marie Cockburn, Dr. John Collins, Vincent Lavery and Senator James […]

Somethings For The Weekend.
It’s never too early to start talking about the weekend in the rabble bunkers. This one has us in a tizzy. Trapped with indecision between another night in Tengu or lashings of acid in the Twisted Pepper with Chicago originators Phuture. The Out To Lunch lads bring some whopper value with another night dripping in […]

Who’s Afraid Of The Dark?
A UK lobby group has published a report identifying the “culture of fear” that stymies a night time economy estimated to run at £66 Billion a year. The report comes right at a time when London gets a 24 hour tube. One can only imagine what a similar report would have to say […]

How-A-Ya Horse?
Jamie Goldrick dons his rain gear and heads out for a very wet early morning start to Smithfield Square. There he finds a controversial and almost ancient event. One that lures hordes of camera wielding tourists yet divides public opinion and finds itself being pushed out of the city. There’s been a couple of incidents […]
