One would imagine the ports will be well guarded. So go slows on the motorways again?

So is there a name or source behind this protest? Considering the representative bodies have nothing to do with it, who are these people exactly.

Just saying it out loud now, anyone obstructing me from my lawful business is going to regret it. I am beyond the tipping point.

What threshold does this need to pass to be considered terrorist activity? These people are way, way out of line.

In the middle is silage season? I doubt it!

Which group ??
The one whos PRO is a tax dodger ?
The one with the tricolour ?
The one looping for a cap on Diesel ?
The one looking for the government to “support them” (with no specific idea of what that means.
Or one of the other hundred groups..

With the situation in the Strait now having escalated even further, things are about to get a lot more difficult for all of us on this island.
These lads would do well now to collect their half a billion euro handout and stay quiet. As the rest of the country will not be behind them in any way this time.

Flipping guards need to be on critical infrastructure sites round the clock. And to be publicly backed by the majority who do not support thieves, flat earthers and Irelandisfull agitators.

Get all the reg no.’s and audit everyone last one of them.

Wouldn’t it be a terrible time for the general public to drive slow during silage season

The government knows more pain is coming especially in electricity.
They also know that there will be more inflation, in particular with groceries.
They need to act!!

My Threads feed is starting to look like Irish Twitter. Full of people the world over telling us how Ireland is rising up against Globalism and how inspirational we are taking our country back.
The MAGA/Reform crowd really love an old protest over an election, don’t they.

Well they can fuck off. They’ve made their point- any further action is unwarranted.

This kind of stuff needs to be starved of attention. It’s all these people are obviously looking for at this stage.

This looks like the Ai Slop Brigade. There was nothing but the dregs at their protest outside the Dail last friday. They had one in Carlow over the weekend too, and again – it was the usual screen damaged far-right types.

Can’t imagine there’ll be as much leeway given the next time. Arrests and vehicle seizures will be quicker and more widespread

Garda leadership and Government will want to get themselves ready and do what they did towards the end of the “protests” last time.
Dangerous driving charges, towing and impounding of vehicles and proper security and control over national sensitive infrastructure needs to be implemented before these gowls get organised on the day.

Seen prices today for petrol and diesel around 1.70 to 1.80. Much cheaper than most of Europe so no idea what else they want. Fair enough home heating oil is a bit nuts but the good weather is near

When push came to shove last time, it turned out they put up even less resistance than skinny 19 year old college students when the Gardai moved them, despite the tough talk.
That should be remembered going forward, these things are led by upper middle class businessmen who don’t have the “hard man” grit to make it an actual public order issue.

Some authorities need to look into these facebook groups. I’ve seen some comments calling for civil war, which I know is nonsense, but shouldn’t be taken lightly all things considered

being pragmatic, and in line with the predicted fuel issues at the end of the month, there should be pre-emptive measures adopted to ease the road and fuel burden including remote working mandates, etc. Instead it looks like nothing will be done until it gets bad and full roads while these protests kick off again…predictable but these groups have identified the optimal times and pinch points to have the biggest impact
Kbanana on
Think its safe to say they’ve lost public support now without a clear and united message. I wouldnt be for any right wing or “I got mine” mentality going forward.

We need some ironic pre-emptive road blocks to stop them blocking the roads.

The “head” of the protest being a tax dodging animal abuser is fitting

Maybe time to stop ignoring them & at least talk to them. Or will the gov. let it end up in another sh*tshow, them loosing control of the country & having to send in the guards & army with the billy clubs

Nearly every person in my civil service job in the west is in full support of these protests. They start nearly every sentence about it with “I saw on Twitter” or “I saw on tiktok that…” and “on X I saw someone saying that..”
People are not just getting stupider, they are voluntarily making themselves stupider.

In Cork city yesterday, there were two protests.
The first had a banner with the 1916 Proclaimation, a few speakers BLARING Alleluia, Alleluia on a loop, and the lad at the front kept roaring “this is a peaceful protest! This is a peaceful protest!” No placards or indication what they were actually protesting beyond the first banner, the Alleluia made it sound more like a religious thing than a political thing. Much older crowd marching.
About half an hour later, another protest had people chanting “Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael out out out!” Much younger than the first group, but very low energy, half of them looked extremely embrarrased to be out. The lad leading kept trying to encourage people to join in and shout, but eventually he just gave up. Again, no placards, everyone there just looked really embarassed and like they wanted to leave.
People were definitely sick of them by the time the second group blocked the road in the space of an hour. Both groups had about 30-40 people. Nobody on the street seemed particularly interested, the taxi driver I spoke to was really pissed off the street was blocked for the second time in an hour. I’m assuming there was some kind of split between the two groups, given they were going at completely different times.

Gardai need to be far more proactive and strict regarding this. Any of them actually committing a crime should be arrested. They were let do whatever they wanted last time and it got out of hand. The protests were of zero costs to them and effectively encouraged.

If this protest was say. Just stop oil. Do you think the response from the authorities would be different.

Shur didn’t you know, Ireland is the only country on the planet that has rising fuel costs and a cost of living crisis.
The rest of the world is minted and living the life of luxury.
The government will not be forced into another blackmailing session, plus we have a budget coming up in October.
