What a great way to make the country look like a pack of fools. If they want to get a message across to the government then go up to government building in Dublin or to the local clinics that the TD'S, etc. attend. I never comment on things like this but this is just pure stupid. I bring golfers and tourists into Ireland for a living and trust me this is not what they want to see when they come here to have a good time and pump money into our economy. IDIOTS

I was standing at pedestrian crossing beside 6 U.S tourists who decided amongst themselves they would not cross the road and visit the tourist attraction(that looked like it was been picketed) because of it. I know the council offices are above it but they don't know that even though I did say this to them. Fair play guys, that's how to revive the economy, drive tourists away.

Why didnt the 6 tourists cross the road? answers on a postcard to enda kenny tucker street castlebar co mayo...:P
nice_very wrote: » I have spoken with many tourists, Irish and foreign, at different protests (and in pubs etc), who were curious as to the nature of the different protests.. the overwhelming response has been positive once they have been informed of the reasons behind said protests. It has been said to me on more than one occasion "about time you guys are doing something". A good many people with cameras both Irish and as described in the post above stopped to take photos yesterday from both sides of the street. We are being seen abroad as a nation of non protesters while millions europe and world wide are out in the streets every day. We get a visit from the head of government who is imposing a fascist regime bit by bit, and those of us who were at the protest are accused of damaging the local economy..?? get a grip, the SW funeral march along the quay blocked more traffic than 6 americans who decided not to visit "the glass" and who probably did so today. BTW I am not part of, or affiliated to, any political party, and I was there as an Irish person who sees wrongs being done to my country and wanted to EXERCISE MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PEACEFUL PROTEST.

thomasm wrote: » Yeah your right, I came on here to make up lies about speaking to the rare unsighted creature that is the American tourist outside a big tourist attraction for same rare creature to make your friends in the protest look bad, not that they need any help considering the location of protest and the effect it had that I witnessed first hand. Do feel free to trawl all past posts by me to see if your protest buddies are a regular topic of interest for me if you want to waste your time
