One of the best outdoor pissups I was ever at, and far less violence than that year’s Oxegen.

I’d say it was FG and FF in charge at this time as well right?

Almost like policy in public order policing has changed significantly.

I was a civil servant in the gardai when the student protests was happening. Some of the shit the gardai said about them was so fucking vile. They were very very anti-protest and extremely venemois towards the protestors.

I don’t see the Garda trying that tactic with the farmers and truckers. It would be nice to see them try to see how well they get on.

A selective post by OP to make some point.
In 2003 tractors filled the capital. No hard response then either.
Interesting the kid gloves those holding the country to ransom right now are being treated.

And the President of the national students’ union, USI, sided with the Gardai initially. Major turning pointing in the radicalism of the national SU movementÂ
Remember it well. Members of the fire brigade were shouting at the gardai to stop hitting people. I was standing in near the dept. of finance and a bike cop told all 8 stone of me that if I didn’t move he’d take the smile off my face for me.

Is this not years ago when the SUs were actually decent but got cavalry charged by garda?
