As each vehicle has a registration number… Surly it wont be hard to track down the participants and charge them

For all those who spent the week saying “sure how would the gardai move them?”, the answer actually turned out to be “pretty easily”.

Finally.
You could really feel how the public support for them dropped massively over the last few days. The vast majority of the public want nothing to do with them after they exposed themselves as what they are.

James geoghan doing an interview whilst half cut admitting that he “met up with a few friends for a few drinks and then back to the apartment before coming down to check on the lads” probably the highlight of the night.

I keep seeing people call it a peaceful protest. There’s nothing peaceful about blockading key infrastructure around the country. Just because it’s non violent doesn’t mean it’s peaceful.

Freedom of movement is a fundamental right, they have lost the whole argument by blocking hundreds of thousands of people who have absolutely nothing to do with fuel prices.
Are they entitled to protest, yes. But they have attacked society, instead of the people in power and I will never forget this.
There are no rusty aul tractors and trucks at the top of these blockades, this is nothing to do with money. You can’t fool everyone.

Good. Should’ve happened on Wednesday. Take their details and ask revenue to add them to the list for a tax audit. Then we’ll see who’s paying their fair share and who isn’t.
Facebook instigator groups already in overdrive calling for new protests, and it appears facebook is actually taking down their posts

To stay neutral on the actually protest for a minute and discuss the Irish and the Gardas (not a huge fan of a lot of their approaches to policing FYI).
I think it’s really interesting to think about how everyone(me included) seemed to completely underestimated the Gardas ability to end this (or at least a portion of it). Spokes people for the protest in Dublin didn’t even consider it a possibility that the Gardas had the ability to move them ( we will stay he a week a month, until we get what we ask for etc ). Members of the public (supporting and not) preparing for the long haul.
Lads ( a few only mind you) calling for revolutionary violence against Garda resistance they meet , saying Gardas are soft so they will capitulate if strong men stand up to them.
And then they cleared two of the key parts of the protest within 12 hours (O’Connell street and white gate). Quite efficiently it seems on both fronts, I am not condoning any violence or supporting the clearly of the protest here it just quite any interesting look into attitudes towards our police force and their capabilities
