Protest?

I'm aware it was a joke, I was only commenting on the fact the strait is reopening.

Protests now advertised to continue through today and Thursday. I suppose they’ll try and hold tough until the Dáil reopens?

Stock market oil price has dropped, the actual physicial market price is well past 140 dollars a barrel, theirs no correlation between the two at the minute, Isrealis are having a meltdown over the ceasefire , they'll proberly go solo on bombing raids to break the peace shortly enough

Limerick is a disaster this morning. Tunnel is closed so all traffic must go through the city

We must look at hiring these farmers for other protests 😂😂😂

This exactly. If you or I were park with the smallest part of the car outside the space on double-yellow lines it's a ticket for illegal parking. These guys are parked on motorways, bus lanes, luas lines and not a single fine has been issued that I can see.

This is very funny, given we're talking about people who are quite literally not doing any work for the last few days and sitting on their ass in the city, blocking other people from going to work.

It's all about what people will pay

Scenario 1 - The price of a barrel increases and people panic buy, meaning suppliers and forecourts can increase prices as they see fit as people are panic buying

Scenario 2 - The price of a barrel decreases but people still need fuel so suppliers and forecourts can still charge what they like while at the same time buying their next delivery for a cheaper price

It doesn't matter whether the price of a barrel goes up or down, the consumer always loses with big oil

If the haulage companies want to stop deliveries they could just stop delivering like a normal protest. The country would quickly shut down with a nationwide haulage strike and they wouldn't need to block other workers.

Haulage blocking haulage just shows this isn't a popular protest.

A relative who has a small shop down the country, whose business is already struggling to pay overheads, rates, taxes etc, says that business was down 95% yesterday. What he took in would hardly pay energy costs, never mind insurances or wages. He has said he will probably close his business later this year, after losing a fortune. No incentive for businesses any more, shoplifting rising, employee costs too high, now pension costs, extra bank holidays, everything keeps going up or getting tougher trying to compete with the big nultinationals online. No law or order as we saw yesterday with cops standing by smiling when tactors blocked roads at right angles. He got a parking ticket when dropping a parcel at the post office recently and was out of the car for 2 minutes in an almost empty street. Trying to do a days work.

Whoever the protestors are helping it is not small businesses.

If a deal is done for hauliers/ contractors etc the people who are giving out about the protests will be the ones saying "what about the hard working public, nothing for them "
