I don't really blame them, they've probably already laid down the best part of grand for their holiday and are set to lose all their money and holidays due to this.

The Public sector and unions are nothing but scum, everyone of them should be sacked and not be given any dole either.

I'm sure this won't go on much longer, once Joe Duffy has turned against you it's game over.

JONJO THE MISER · 22-03-2010 03:21PM

I wonder if those people would have any comeback.. I mean you pay a fee for your passport so you should expect to have the service provided for you

heard a guy on the radio yesterday who was going to be unable to attend a relatives funeral because of it

PCPhoto · 22-03-2010 03:22PM

the queue was pretty big earlier - didn't look like anyone was pi$$ed off or anything.

You'd think so, especially on the fast track option that cost what is it €70? Probably not though.

so its just gonna be a kinda royal rumble.... public sector workers against the rest of us....or will some of the underpaid/overworked public servants jump ship.

I will watch from the sides if you dont mind (not a big fan of violence) ..... I can sell tickets... that'll get us out of the recession...sell tickets to other countries to view the mass brawl..... huge fight removes plenty of people and we get money in selling tickets to view it.

I'm trying to apply for a passport at the moment but my first application was rejected due to glare on my glasses. Thank **** I haven't booked the flights already.

Jesus Wept · 22-03-2010 03:29PM

Tempted to go down there for the craic.

This hunger strike nonsense has to stop, it's not relevant.

I was in a nightclub recently where i had to pay an extortionate fee to gain entry and wait for long periods at the bar to get served drink.
Furthermore,none of the people who served me appeared either very efficient or very mannerly.
This private sector and its employees are a disgrace...we should stop spending our money in thses places.

They don't like having their picture taken. My glasses are very insecure.

Well, if nightclubs were funded by public taxes, you might have a point.

You have a choice of nightclub , but not of passport office.

Don't go to the nightclub it will shut down and those people will be out of a job. The same doesn't apply to the passport office.

bleg · 22-03-2010 03:33PM

**** sake, what is it with hunger strikes!!

Get fired...hunger strikes

No passport... hunger strikes

Shreddies...hunger strikes

2ygb4cmqetsjhx · 22-03-2010 03:36PM

Jaysus! A hunger strike. Awesome!

high heels · 22-03-2010 03:36PM

cause it worked for Sands

O wait...

SomeFool · 22-03-2010 03:38PM

You can get your passport through the post office, think it's about €5 extra, but no queing involved, just send off your details in an envelope.

Stark · 22-03-2010 03:39PM

Shutting down the passport offices is a good strategy for industrial action. You don't want to give the people who pay your wages the option of emigrating if they decide enough is enough.

Noopti · 22-03-2010 03:39PM

I really hope there will be a picture released of the hunger stiker and that they will be morbidly obese. Please God, please.
