Fuel Protest (Read MOD NOTE on first post)

massive support for him here tonight! :-)

Nonsense! Healy Rae is a disgrace, He would rather bring down the government to protect himself. In case you dopes need a reminder, the reason for this fuel crisis is the lad sitting in the white house.

The government has already decreased excise, and they are going to do it again. We are giving far more than other countries are.

We all know the real reason behind this protest from the few ringleaders. The coppers should have been in there from minute 1 cracking skulls when they started blocking up ports etc.

Kerry folk are laughable. Cute hoors indeed. Of course you would have done the very same 😂 Our electorate are getting dumber by the day. God help us.

There's no doubting he works hard locally, that flyer is a case in point. He must burn through some diesel himself!

My issue with him always has been that I'd rather see TDs working on legislation that improves the lot of the whole country rather than focusing on their own fifedom. County councillors are there to resolve local issues. TD are there to work on the national interest. But maybe that's somewhat wishful thinking on my behalf when it's local votes that puts a TD in the Dáil.

I'd really like to see more partnership between the councillors and TDs, where the run for a election as a pair or a grouping. That way the councillors have an avenue to escalate local issues to the national parliament when necessary but the TDs time is preserved for focusing on the country more so than the constituency.

ha ha…………..thanks for that …………..I'm actually a Meath person living in Kerry for a few years. I've got more help in Kerry and speedily regarding any issues than I ever got in Meath, despite Helen McEntee and Thomas Byrne being on my doorstep. Thomas Byrne in particular was arrogance personified.

I'll take the Kingdom anyday.

I will admit, kerry people are the friendliest most helpful people on the planet when I am scheduled there for work

I wouldn't bet my shirt on that. Russia's "special military operation" was supposed to be three days. America's "adventure" could just as easily cause an extended period of instability in the gulf and effect oil and gas supplies for some time to come.

The government needs to have contingency plans to ensure critical services will remain running if oil supplies are constrained and need to be rationed. Similarly they need to have plans how to respond to increasing costs and decreasing supply.

Agreed. Won't be long before the "permanently disgruntled" move back to housing again.

It's still lower than the market price (ex VAT/Duties). We've gone from the taxes are too high to we want green diesel tax free and also below cost.

Spoken like a true zionist.

And I say there is not one thing wrong about supporting Palestine. Don't be stupid enough to conflate sympathy for a population being slaughtered and subjected to collective punishment and marxist socialism.
