    So says Sky breaking news!

    It's apparently because of the government pumping billions in to the EU.

    What's going on? No other channels are covering it.

    Saw this also. RTE haven't anything on it yet on their 9pm bulletin. It was about money being pumped in to the banks.

    I've no doubt that there was a quick phone call from the Garda Press Office to RTE and other Irish news agencies telling them not to report it until its under control.

    Otherwise they risk loads more like myself heading down there right now to join in the fun.

    Sky news however are UK based and they won't be told when or what to report by the Gardai. Our media on the other hands are a bunch of compliant ****.

    Is it safe to assume that this is bullsh*t?

    Don't have access to Twitter.

    Its organised by UNITE. A few speakers including Fintan O'Toole. Saw the posters, would have gone but am elsewhere.

    Its about the bank bailout IIRC.

    A group of demonstrators are protesting outside the Dáil on Kildare Street.
    Gardaí say there was an earlier attempt by some members of the group to enter through the main gates but they were removed.
    The gates have now been locked. No one was arrested.

    Sky - it was crap, is crap, and will probably be crap for the forseeable future.

    It would have indeed been fun to watch the Gardai knock the last few brain cells out of their heads.

    I think they mean that 40 of the demonstrators attempted to enter the Dail. There were a lot more in the demo itself.

    Interesting title to the thread.... "Irish Parliament" sometimes known as the Dail. ;)
