      I reckon we should blockade whitegate again to push for tax cuts for high earners.

      This has definitely set the new standard operation for protests. Target the country’s infrastructure with large vehicles

      Personally I don’t want to see any more stupid fucking giveaways until there are zero homeless children living in this stupid, stupid country.

      I suggest you listen to Matt Cooper interview Brendan Ogle on Path to Power podcast. A few things that caught my eye.

      1. This was a subscriber only podcast but it was released to the general audience in the same way a load of indo articles are released from behind a paywall when there is general unhappiness among the powers that be for some reason.

      2. Ogle ranted on about how the fuel strikes were hijacked by the far right and said nothing about the substance of their argument. He then went on to say that the gov doesn’t set the cost of fuel (yet they take of load of the price in tax.

      The existing trade unions are scared to hell of grass roots activism because it threatens their position

      He is totally correct. Another example of PAYE workers getting shafted

      Oh boo fuckin hoo. You run a union, fuckin do something.

      Rewarding their terrorism with handouts while the rest of the population is 500m poorer. Who says crime doesn’t pay? You just need to scale it.

      People have been calling for the unions to do more for years. Now he’s raging because he might have to do something more than a couple love-ins with government ministers. The ICTU are a useless bureaucracy that hung up their boots long ago. We need militant unions willing to put pressure on the government. The fuel protest reset the rules of engagement to where they should be

      the unions are well able to squeeze money from the public purse for their members. i’d say they’re raging they don’t have a fleet of tractors to blockade stuff

      It wasn’t a protest so much as an insurrection and the government surrendered.

      I have posted this before, like the Dublin riots in 2023 and Citywest protests last year- going forward this will be the protest method I think. They will be waiting for an immigrant to commit a crime to deploy. I remember last year when there was a shooting in Carlow – all the usuals arrived there – the dog kicker, NP – Quinlan – only to to disappointed after finding out that it was an Irish man!

      My undercaffeinated brain read that as “squeezed from the public arse”. 

      Disappointed that I was wrong.

      Sick of paying taxes in this country. You get absolutely milked and fuck all for it.

      Just handouts to special interest groups.

      They should have had revenue patrolling with clipboards, would clear them off faster than garda.

      Angry gobsh*te who makes a career of rubberstamping Gov. crumbs takes arsey swipes at people who make the gov. cough up 1/36th of the current running Surplus to ease soaring fuel prices in a cost of living crisis.

      This fella is pure sower grapes. Only saying it coz himself & his mates are gona find it harder to justify their own paychecks off union dues for getting sweet FA off gov.

    19. GundamXXX on

      And how many millions are forgone due to rich cunts being buddies with the government?

      Nice redirection

    20. hmmm_ on

      They’re one to talk – the unions have been great for squeezing money out of taxpayers when other weaker groups deserve it more.

    21. ShaneONeill88 on

      That’s giving the protesters too much credit. None of them were in the negotiations. Those negotiations would have happened even without their blockade.

    22. stuyboi888 on

      Well look, agree or not the government let it work. 

      So lads, let’s organise. What do we want? Finish the metro, finish the children hospital, More housing built, better transport options. More investment in the arts, more investment in infrastructure, lower taxes. World is our oyster. Rent a few lorries, block critical infrastructure 

    23. PDP-11 on

      He is wrong, the subsidies were negotiated by the IFA and IRHA. If anything the protests delayed them because the government didn’t want to be seen as giving in so the subsidies were not implemented until the blockades were removed.
