This is Anto. He's from Dublin. He left school early to get a job like everyone he knows. No matter how hard he works, he'll never own a house and he's lost faith in any all systems in place to "support" him. People like Niall like to mock him, and think they're above him

I'm born and bred in the flats in Dublin. Yes, there's an issue with racism in our community. Racism permeates all classes, unfortunately. Using classism to fight racism will not end well.
Attitudes like yours are the problem. Affluent people who are afraid to be perceived as punching down, instead make excuses for, patronise & infantilize working class communities. I'm from o'devaney gardens, working class communities have a racism problem. It has to be dealt with

Irish media has a race and class problem - so much of what we're reading and hearing about the events of the past few days are from white middle class pundits talking to their own demographics. It's an opinion vacuum.

Those speaking about class in the arts still not understanding that you are in the way, can I tell you working class people do not exist for your career - middle class women get out of the way - middle class men what is it that makes you think you should/could tell our stories?

Absolutely vile comments from Ruairi Quinn. I grew up in these flats, you couldn't find a more community-driven and friendly neighbourhood, however not uncommon to find this thinking among the denizens of Sandymount and co.

Journalism is a notoriously difficult industry to break into and more so if you are working class. I became disillusioned and bitter early on seeing peers with parents in industry glide over me and into cushy jobs. Lack of working class voices in media also directly impacts trust
While we rightly focus on the importance of diversity in media ownership, a diverse workforce is also essential for a sustainable industry.
