Fuel protest about prices

They don't have support because they are early. If the war goes on and prices rise enough then the majority will be behind them and with them. We are not there yet.

It shows the calibre of the protestors. Monkeys the lot of them.

There are people here that think the state wont play dirty. This govt. is so unpopular instead of buying journalists, they bought entire media outlets and set up a brand new state agency to push censorship.

I'm guessing there will be less of them out tomorrow protesting

They'll all be off collecting their Dole at the post office

Every single person has been affected by rapid inflation, Whether that be the weekly shopping, heating oil or the weekly fill of diesel to go to work.

Ye do realise behind every single truck, bus tractor and van theres a man (Or woman) who's lively hoods are now on the line? Because they too have to contend with inflation AND the price of fuel?

There's small businesses and sole traders now paying thousands extra a week on fuel..... They've asked for help, They've been largely ignored. (The 22c cent reduction was surpassed within days)

What do ye expect them to do? Park trucks and tractors in the yard until everything calms down? That means shelfs will go bare, food production will be limited which will then further increase inflation for the average household.

Kids are going to be left at home from school next week as it'd be cheaper leave buses parked.

And yes I agree theres a few muppets that have attached themselves and used it as a platform for their own beliefs, But its a cry for help from the average working man who's not a union member, But just a man who generally keeps his head down and works away.

Are you deluded or just trolling at this point. It's not an accusation, but a question.

I'm amused how these clowns think the whole country is behind them. Living in an echo chamber on Facebook is not healthy.

Protest, yes go ahead. Slow convoy no worries, the Guards will manage it. I have protested in the past at cuts during the austerity days, I have taken part in strike days on a picket line. All properly notified and organised.

These blowhards are a mob without leadership, and far right agitators taking advantage. I'm no fan of Paul Murphy but when you see how he was treated in Dublin today that is all you need to know about the mob. What is going on is ridiculous.

This is hilarious. ye have heard of a God Complex, but check out this Mod Complex

If they want public money then they are going at it in the wrong way to make their case to the general public. Strikes are usually over random days over a number of weeks not multiple days in a row which will only enrage all commuters.

No, they are not making more, as they cut excise duty last week. I think the excise cut on diesel was around 16c, so unless the base price of fuel went up 65c the government is not taking more.

Lads protesting about diesel costing €2 per litre while drinking take away coffee that costs €11 per litre

Like most private sector workers, excessive government taxation (especially on labour and fuel) means affording a gaff takes longer. Hence now the age of an ETHNIC IRISH parent is now at its highest level ever. Geriatric pregnancy is the norm.

But hey I guess we're all just incel losers nazi's for not wanting to be taxed into extinction while the govt. jet sets round the world giving our money away

When the dust dies down, the government might usefully look at this and offering grants. The problem with solar is the dark days at Christmas, but at that time of year a farmer would use farm machinery a lot less than in the next 3 months, when there is plenty of solar power.

yet one of the reasons the government does not confront the current thuggery on the street is that there are not enough people becoming Gardaí. There are also shortages of teachers in some areas too.

Can't believe we got the 'don't believe boards, you should go on Facebook or X to get the truth' argument haha
