    Anyone got any updates for this at all?

    Was looking forward to hearing about it. Was certain it was going to end in disaster. Haven't heard a thing though. Did it go ahead or...?


    Anyone know? :confused:

    Is there any need to protest? I mean if someone was savaged by a rampant shickiloni then taking to the streets and causing more trouble isn't going to do their case any good. Best off reporting anything that needs to be reported and let the ombudsman sort it out.

    Nothing much from what I gather, think only around 200-300 people showed. Saw pictures of it on the photography thread, boggles the mind some of them. Type of people that are itching to get beat up and asking for it, some gobsheen dressed like a riot squad fella with stuff written on it (can't remember) and remember seeing them on the news with scarves round their faces.
    Glad the gardai didn't give them the satisfaction of a hiding, that hospital/lawyer speed-dial will have to wait another day.

    The protest today was a successful one, despite it only being announced short notice and not advertised too overtly.

    About a 1000 plus were present, and it was a peaceful protest yet the message was loud and clear, that we have a right to protest and wont be battered off the street by the Guards who are acting on orders from the politicians to scare us from pursing our civil rights.

    The Op's 'Garda brutality' remark is obviously a snide reference that there was no garda brutality

    Have a watch of this and tell me the cops werent heavy handed

    Of the 300-500 present, I wonder how many were
    a) Students
    b) Present at the student march

    I would say at least 498 were SWSS/SF/Eirigi!

    Go for it! It's gotta be better than sitting around whinging on a public forum about protesters.

    No no no. The protest was 19000 in total. 10000 marched peacefully, while 9000 broke away to have a peaceful invasion of the lobby of a random govt dept.

    Heavy handed response?

    I just watched those vids, expecting to see some brutality. Eh, I think the gardai were unbelievably restrained.

    I can see now why it wasn't on the news - because it was so restrained.
    Are the students today living on cloud cuckoo land?

    They were clearly attacking a government building what did they expect.
    And as for Eirigi, the war is over dudes.


    Fair play to the gardai, difficult job not made easier dealing with this rubbish.
