    Tbh, most of the people who avail of drink offers in the Blacker are 18-22 year olds getting locked. Not the 'we won't pay' brigade, they aren't property owners.

    There are some workers protesting, because not everyone works mon-fri jobs. I haven't protested, but I know a few working people who have. Most of them get their days off mid-week, same as I do.

    The majority are unemploymed, though.

    No stats as such as there are no verifiable figures knocking about. I dont think there has been a poll done on the protest group. Just from marching and talking with my fellow citizens in October and November the majority are decent hard working people. People from all walks of life.

    The last protest was a disappointment because the organisers had it on a Wednesday and most people were working but still a decent turnout none the less. A group of us left the office to attend for an hour. Obviously your going to get the small group of scroungers in every protest groups like the morons that blocked the bridge. Anyway we will see how successful IW is come April.

    Someone should care!I hope someone takes it up.
    This is appalling. It's an encouragement to waste the states money and an insult to people on social welfare too really.

    If they are working, IW is what they take issue with? LOL the theft rate of 51% over a massive E33,800 is ok? The scandalous rate of childcare for working parents?

    What about the omni cinema in santry? They offer 5 euro tickets on Tuesday on presentation of a recent social welfare payment receipt. Is that a disgrace too?

    That's the only thing I see wrong with it, the government should otherwise encourage it, gives them the dole money back in taxes from the drinks.

    The scandalous rate of various living costs is what I take issue with. I am with you on that one. These protests are about far more than water. The working people are squeezed. IW was the breaking point. I'm not going to derail further.

    You'll find that a lot of the objections were due to the fact that our water system was already being paid for out of that 51%.

    Not everyone works Mon-Fri.
    There are people whose weekend is Sunday and Monday so it would make sense their night out would be Sunday.
    But carry on......
