Wasn't he just dragged away by the guards and slammed onto the ground??? Thats what they showed on the 9 news, unless this is another incident . . .

there was one arrested earlier, is this a different one?

sk8board

Fianna Downfall

different nutter, same gate. This happened as the ministers were leaving.

Beeb went live for 10pm news just as ambulance was leaving. A SHED load of guards on the scene as well as fire brigade

He was taken away in an ambulance.

flutered

the gaurds were well over the top, in particular the female of the species, he could have recieved a serious injury.

This is somebody else, additional to the previous protestor.

Shocking

Yes spotted it on BBC, the reporter said the car went over the protester so I would imagine it's fairly serious.

Bob_Latchford

Sybolism is huge

hotmail.com

Bet it was Harney's car.

the groutch

wouldnt it be ironic if it was the Minister for Health's car

UPCurley

Going by Biffo's run of luck lately, it was probably his. Honestly though, I hope that person is alright.

dfbemt

I think all would have their own interesting take.

Justice car
Transport car
Health car
Green Prius car ?

Exactly right re symbolism.

Wonder would the Garda driver face charges?

I'd hope that he would be working past 10p.m. on the day we finally ask for a bailout . . .probably the most important day in irish economics in years . . .

Symbolism interesting, but political interest nil.
