    For the benefit of people new to this thread, I've quoted the OP in question. As you can see, Hoffmans's opening makes, if anything, slightly less sense than his most recent. Although, paradoxically, it is more coherent?

    Hoffmans, I hope for the sake of these 'causes', you're not the spokesperson for any!

    :D

    Do you think many of them support Irish Water?

    Maybe if the Govt didnt have to give Irish Water hundreds of millions more than they'd intended out of general taxation, there'd be more money for one parent families...

    So the lone parents should be telling the anti-Irish water protesters to STFU...

    I wonder did the Joan burton cavalcade pull up at a topaz at any stage ? Isn't Irish water a subsidiary of topaz? Free fuel and sandwiches etc. 😄

    other grievances.... most of them get free money.... free housing..... its about time a lot of people actually took responsibility for their own circumstances...
    There are a lot of people who actually need state aid... but even during the height of the celtic tiger we had 4% unemployment, when anybody falling of the plane could get a job.... there is a certain class of people who have made a lifestyle choice of living off the state...

    as regard to the protest... how many turned up??? a dozen???

    I haven't bothered putting my brain into gear to figure out what the OP was griping about. Any argument that relies on derogatory personal descriptions in childish language to make a point is not worth getting into.

    can anyone define what a peaceful protest should be......my attempt would be 'a Group of people with banners and placards (and maybe some chanting an effective /appropriate phrase marching up and down a road/street or stationary if at an event that has speakers / speeches in a civilised but effective manner???

    Within the law. So, no blocking anywhere without prior agreement, no verbal abuse (chanting is grand), no throwing stuff, no blocking people in their cars, etc.

    There doesn't apper to be any video in the FB link. There is a photographer. I clicked into his page. Let's see.....

    Books: Fifty Shades of Tae.
    Likes: 99 words for boobs, the ballymurphy massacre.
    Sports: mostly Celtic shyte.
    Activities: golf, INLA (an odd combination...?)
    Interests: golf, irish rebel music (see above)

    Photographer seems to be a computer generated stereotype. Bet he has a beer belly.

    From what I've seen simply shouting "peaceful protest" validates whatever you are at.

    There is an article in this weeks Waterford news and star about this on page which I read in the local library, in the article it said the protester in question when Joan Burtons car was leaving the Granville hotel, a man lunged forward according to the garda , now if he lunged forward or not- I don,t know as I wasn,t there; but to play devils advocate if you are employed as private security or as a garda assigned to protect a public figure and someone lunges forward at the person you are assigned to protect, in all realistically you are gonna have to tackle that person to the ground as quick as possible as you do not know what the persons intent might be or if they are carrying a weapon on them, OP who started this thread, what is your own version of events ? did the protester in question lunge forward at the car ? and Im no fan of Joan Burton or supporter of the Labour party.

    See, this is what I like about people who go to lengths to oppose things. It's how well researched and thought out their views are. :rolleyes:

    Which holding company owns Irish Water?

    I'll save you the bother , its a subsidiary of Ervia (used to be Bord Gais Networks. It has the same set up as An Post , Bus Eireann, Bord na Mona , Coiltte, ESB, and Irish Rail etc.


    Denis O 'Drien owns one of the companies sub contracted to fit meters. But sure hey, that must mean he owns the company that employs his company. (so does this then give him ownership of other meter installers? Or do they own his? It's all very confusing)

    Heres a list from GMC Sierra's website of who they do work for here, that must mean they own all of these companies/departments/grpups, yeah?

    Bord Gáis
    Central Bank
    Dublin Airport Authority
    Dublin Port Company
    eircom
    Airtricity
    ESB
    ESBI
    Northern Ireland Electricity
    UPC
    Office of Public Works
    Railway Procurement Authority
    Water Service NI
    Waterways Ireland

    How about giving up the burger & chips for 2 hours like the hunger striker Je suis Derek did, would that be OK?

    How exactly did they end up on the ground though Hoffmans?? One of them have some kind of problem with their balance?
