    Im a farmer, so I disagree...

    The point has been made and enough is enough....

    We are shooting ourselves in the foot over that cùnt Trumps Epstein distraction.....

    I am now in favour of using the full force of the law to remove those still blockading tomorrow.…it has gone on far too long...

    Nice to see the trolls that come on the farming forum, for a day or two and then disappear.

    110 years later, we still have the rabble.

    Insulting the protesters, while they sit by and let this government, send another generation of irish young people to Australia and foreign lands.

    Who can afford to build a dwelling now adays or have a big family.

    Ye are a fuucking disgrace to your people. If you can't back your local contractor or your neighbour who has a lorry

Other vets may have been on call or a day off what was a 20-25 minute spin from being on the Limerick bupass, via Patrickwell onto the N69 probably turned into an hours journey cross country.

    Oh like I said 'to put it mildly', it's more than just a nuisance, for sure… but there were never threats of the army being deployed when actual property damage and looting were going on. When people were laughing at the guards and wrecking garda vehicles.

    Now they're threatening the army? There hasn't been any violence.

    You can disagree with the methods all you want, and I am totally understanding the other sides opinion, for sure.
    But when people feel like they're not being heard, protest is their last resort. And it's not a decision made lightly either.

    Again, if there was violence, if there was bottle rockets and molotov cocktails, and property damage going on I'd be saying 'bring in the army', but at the site of one protest all they were doing was having a kickabout with a football.

    Why have the protests only started the last few days? Might it have something to do with Iran? If so, why are farmers not blockading the US embassy?

    US have enough to be at, resulting in zero attention given to an embassy protest

    Right, so not protesting against those who actually caused the issue, got it.

    Biased as in I don’t agree with the way this protest is being conducted. Absolutely.

    Breaking the law and stopping a cancer patient from getting to an appointment is not how this should be handled.

    And as I said before, I don’t care too much if you agree with my perspective or not but keep things civil at least, posters stooping to personal attacks and insults is beneath us all.

    I posted this in another thread of the same topic.

    There is going to be a very serious problem for dairy farmers coming down the line very soon. The petrol stations around me are running out of fuel, many already have ran out. Milk has to be collected daily, if the trucks can't fuel up they can't collect the milk. Farmers will have to dump or dry off their cows. This will cause serious damage to the dairy industry here. There is going to be serious repercussions due to the actions of these yahoos blocking the refineries and oil depots.

    I've no problem with go slows, but you can't just blockade Infrastructure critical to our state.

    I'm a small part time farmer. I don't know any of my peers that agree with the blockades of roads and fuel depots. All the references to "farmers " are misleading in my opinion. Will people still suppprt the protests when fuel can't be got, shelves in shops are getting empty. It annoys me also all these "the people want this government out". Wrong. The people voted for the government and rejected the alternatives. It's democracy. Get over it.

    Read the article again. It clearly states a sick calf, nothing about a cow calving. If it was they would have said it. To many non-farmers in this thread.

    my dear man I didn’t say anything negative whatsoever about the Vet or the practice. I simply said they could have called another vet if that one was so far away. Just because someone has a different opinion to you it doesn’t mean they don’t understand.

    The ignorance in this quote is unbelievable. Why have the protests only started since the war began? Because the price of fuel rose because.. of the war. If you disagree with this..why didn't the protests happen before the war?

    They're bikes, they can weave through traffic, of course they're not getting blocked!

    If you had the courage of your convictions you would block her in the driveway.

    But you won't, one rule for you, one rule for everybody else.

    Why the army decided a good idea to put armoured vehicles on the streets of Limerick in the middle of all this is mind-boggling. It was fuel to the extremists. Took awhile for it to be clarified too. In an age of social media 'bad news' travels fast while its hard to deliver the good news.

    Bad form… Not sure what has gotten you so twisted…

    This protest will pass as all things do, but people will remember how everyone behaved…
