    Hearing from my friends there’s a fairly low turnout at the protest event

    Must say, I’m surprised. I thought there’d be a huge crowd protesting. But no, seemingly not.

    It hasn’t started yet.

    Btw, it’s not a protest.

    I actually don't object to the €32m spend if on reflection it turns out to be a massive overreaction on the part of authorities, and they come to properly realise just how little the Irish people care about Catholicism any more.

    I've been driving around the Dublin suburbs yesterday and today, and the Garda presence is huge but the traffic is light.

    In fairness, there was a lot of gobdaws not getting out of the way.

    Weather crap, logistics very difficult for many. Hours of hanging around, walking in the rain, and BACK again. A bit offputting for many.

    I know of no one in mine or my mum's generation going, and we are close enough to the venue too!

    You must be watching Metallica at the Rock am Ring festival. Switch over to the Pope on RTE1.

    The rain hasn't been that bad in Leinster this morning. Though yesterday would have been the ideal day to have the outdoor stuff.
