As you can see from the footage he slowly pulled up to the gates. He didnt ram them nor did any Garda dive out of the way!!

Actually quite a peaceful protest!!

Fair play to the garda though. There was cars coming out of the woodwork within a minute.

In this country I would expect them all to be in SPAR getting their breakfast rolls or something...

Fair play to him. This country needs more. Possibly we should get a fleet of cement trucks and blockade there completely?

Exactly, Fionnan was getting shirty with david mcwilliams on vincent brown saying that he drove straight at a guard..... such nonsense i didn't see any guards there at all.

Fianna F. Sheehan is his full title

So this guy is upset because he owes Anglo Irish Bank €250m because of some stupid property venture that went tits up? I don't understand why people support him and his protests, he is part of the circle of people who did the worst damage during the boom years. F*** him and his c***ing cement truck, there are people in debtors prison for owning amounts as little as €240 and he is swanning around in a cement truck. Total knob.

Well said , I still think his actions were hypocritical but I sure as well would agree that it was a peaceful process and I hope a copy of this is heading to his solicitor right now.

Fionann Sheehan is a clueless asshat.
I always knew he was clueless but didn't realise how much of an asshat he was until I saw that Vincent Browne show during the week.

Listen, i'm a regular poster opposing 'developers'. This guy did right as he was fooled by Anglo that his returns from his investment were ahem returnable.

We're all in this together.

Firstly, he owes more like 2.5m, according to newspaper reports.

Secondly, I don't care a jot about him personally, although I wouldn't consider a Hino luxury transport even given the hours a bloke driving one on the never never has to work to pay for the thing.

Thirdly, he made a protest which captures the mood of many people, and his own circumstances have nothing to do with that. Actually I admire him for making a stand, the one mistake he made was making contact with the gate and leaving himself open to a charge of criminal damage.

I'm reassured by this. All politics aside, I never thought there was much security round our goverment buildings. I know pearse street is close by but to have 10-15 Guards and a dog etc there within 3 minutes means the Gardai, at least, are doing something right.

Yer man's still a hero though. If he had rammed them properly, or hurt anyone, it'd be a different matter though.
