The day the Government makes it illegal for supermarkets to sell cut price booze will be the day the Irish take to the streets!

No, Irish people are too intelligent to resort to, or even believe, that wanton violence is going to solve our problems.

FF put off making the really hard decisions as long as possible. Our new democratically elected government now has to solve the problem of our public finances.

If people disagree with government policy then by all means protest, just do it peacefully. Attacking private property or smashing in restaurant windows, like they are doing in Greece, is retarded.

We can't organise mass peaceful protests nevermind a full scale riot.

The irony here is that while you make a good point, you have to think about how much more forcibly you could make suchlike good points while brandishing a flaming Weapon while standing on an overturned Vehicle on O'Connell St.

When you assess it intrinsically, rioting is really just one strand in the whole fibre and being of a rounded Democracy.*

well the IMF are in town on the 25th July , that would be the ideal time for the people of the country to down tools and show them and the gov that the irish people have had enough (if it turns violent, well and good ), becasue at the mo the Gov/imf/eu are just chipping away at us and will continue until such time we make a stand

I'll go for November 15th.

reason: the hospitals will run out of cash and whole wards will be shut down and A&E might run reduced hours. Minister already said they have to work to their budgets.

Plus there will probably be some softening prior the Budget where people will know there are cuts coming from some areas like Dole, Childrens Allowance etc.

However the July ULA march could turn nasty if certain groups infultrate their march.

Christ this competition could really be open for abuse...... People could very easily kick off a riot on their chosen day to win it

I'm going for early december. When the parents finally realise they're not going to be able to fulfil their wain's christmas hopes. Then they go mad at the government.


DECEMBER 11TH
which also happens to be my birthday, but you don't need to know that......
