Aontu.

SDs are not sure yet, will see which way the wind is blowing.

Social media companies have a lot to answer for.

People have the right to protest ….. but there also has to be rules of protest ….. protests that cause significant disruption and block vital infrastrucre and/or those which are violent should be banned ….. protests in recent years including the current one, the 2017 lengthy bus strike and the 2023 Dublin riots are ALL examples of such protests that should not be tolerated …

In recent years, people's legitimate concerns have been hijacked by far right and other extremist entities like the 'says no' brigade and backed up by extremist parties like Ireland First, The Irish People, Independent Ireland, National Party, National Alliance, Freedom Party and Identity Ireland …..

Blocking fuel depots, roads, oil refineries, etc. should not be tolerated ….. the greater good is more important than these protests which by the way are not official ….. the army should be deployed immediately to move them ….. only question is why have they not moved these individuals and their vehicles already ??? …..

Then those inbreds either lower the tipper or be made aware they will be fined and permanently removed from the roads if they dont.

No. I think you will find the thick end of the wedge is the Machinery, if it were just 20 lads hanging outside a refinery with placards it wouldn't be a problem.

It’s getting attention across pond, got colleagues in US ask me what’s going on and why they seeing bizzare stuff about Ireland on their feeds

BBC too now

Government needs to follow the English policing approach of arresting and prosecuting all the far right protestors, or else these guys just get emboldened. Supply chains are already being blocked at key ports, if they get to Dublin port many businesses won’t be able to open soon and people will not be able to bring their friends or loved ones to hospital.

“If they’re going to start arresting people … then we’re all going to do a rolling protest out here, up to the roundabout and back again at a couple of kilometres an hour,” one organiser said.

these kind of threats should be taken seriously by the law

Sorry, but anyone who declares that "there will be no recession" has absolutely no idea of what they are talking about. Nobody knows that "there will be no recession". There may not be but the chances have increased significantly.

Yes, inflation affects everyone but especially people on lower incomes. But recession affects everyone as well. When both recession and inflation comes together we get stagflation which is exactly the consequence which flowed from the oil price shock of the 1970s - and which followed another middle eastern war.

Wonder if the premises where they worked from / their home base was blockaded how they would like it. Or if one or 2 trucks caught fire? Could see that happening given the amount of disruption to peoples lives now. People not being able to see close relatives before they passd away etc.

Terrorism now 😂

The Army Engineers have very limited machinery, if they start destroying machinery the danger is it will be 10 fold the next day.

Again, soft cough or not. Pew Pew Die Die.

Time for de-escalation here.

If the protest is about money then I think we have to show the protestors they will lose more money from their continued escalation. If that means damaging their equipment, so be it.

You'd think the dolts would move the machinery before it got damaged but if they want it damaged thats on them.

You don't need to go near the M50, cut across to the M4 via west Dublin and Meath into Kildare.
