    Anyone trying to get at her is a scumbag, surely you cant deny that? Peaceful protests are needed what we are getting now isn't. Standing on the road stopping her car from leaving would have done the same job, surrounding her car in a menacing fashion is what scumbags do. Protesters should distance themselves from this behaviour not support it.

    A bit of car shaking lol , Look what her and her Government have done to many many families in this country??

    Poor fathers trying to feed their children to give them what they can and ending up committing suicide because of the pressures put on them by our so called leaders .and you call the protesters " scumbags "

    Paul Murphy has to realise that he has to play in the big playground now.

    I agree with metered water charges
    IMO Paul Murphy is to be commended for the sheer amount of work and effort he has put into the anti-water campaign, people have realised this and elected him to office, i admire his no bulls*it approach, tells it as it actually is and not lie after lie like this shambles of a government,cronyism, jobs for the boys,curruption,deceit,austerity,misery,in a perfect world they should be jailed for their actions for a long time but they'll ride off into the sunset with fat pensions leaving behind a trail of misery,just like the parasites before them.

    Is that why the coppers stripped him of his clothes earlier on?

    Families broken up to due to emergration too. It's hard on those left behind. I became an aunt recently from family living abroad and it is very hard. I cry so much when I get pictures and photos. They are nice and great to see but I am here and I want to be there and hold the new baby and give a kiss and a hug and help with babysitting and things like that.

    I would like Irish Water as a company to remain in it's current form
    If I were a government strategist at this point, I would be recommending sending high profiled TD's from both parties (But especially Labour) to more areas like Jobstown all around the country

    That picture shows the agenda of the indo group and the pro water tax lads and lassies on here.
    A particularly bad photoshop too.
    It's like last weeks efforts at showing 'water tax protesters' and using a photo from Holland.....

    you'd be surprised mate, whilst the Socialist party and PBP might be stronger in Dublin they would still command much support throughout the country.

    We seriously need a radical alternative to these parasites,there's absolutely no sense at all in this vicious merry go around, it's the same all the time, they promise the sun moon and stars and the minute they take office they renege on every promise they ever make,,frankly im amazed anyone could vote for these parasites again after the last 7 years,major major change is needed and asap!

    I would be surprised. Those extreme left groups have no presence in most counties. If they have in Louth I have no idea who they are. Would you vote for any of their well known names where you are?

    Rural people, especially farmers would be wary of voting for groups which are against the idea of private property ownership. Do you think that Boyd Barret would get elected in somewhere like Cavan Monaghan? And how many stand out independent candidates will there be? Not everywhere can produce a Ming or a Mick Wallace.

    Most of them will be people with a history in political parties, who think they will have a better chance by cutting their links. An example would be the Mayor of Drogheda who recently did a 180 degree turn from his FG past. And his constituency colleague having seen his brother and his son lose out in the local elections has also gone a bit native.

    It's painfully obvious it is.

    This whole IW fiasco shows just how poorly this country is being run.

    If they wanted to charge a flat rate for the next number of years why wasn't it incorporated in to the LPT?

    If it's to conserve water, via installing meters to monitor usage, why are they talking about a flat rate for any lenght of time?

    We have a situation whereby members of the government are openly mocking citizens of this country in the Dial. I mean what sort of democracy is that?

    The government insist on giving themselves great credit for reducing the deficit. Well creative book-keeping does not lessen the ever increasing demands on peoples paychecks.

    They'll congratulate themselves on reducing unemployment while conveniently omitting the huge numbers of people who have left these shores. I had to fold our local football last year as more than half the team have emigrated and we just couldn't get the numbers together.

    There is a very real frustration from an awful lot of decent people.

    RTE AND The Sindo are quite clearly pro-government,of course they wont be portraying protesters in any sort of positive light and will set out to discredit them and try and label them as thugs, more and more people are seeing the so-called national broadcaster and this rag of a paper for what they are,the government are in terminal decline desperately trying to cling onto power but it's too late now, nothing they can do now will save them,people have had enough,and will not rest until this shambles that is Irish water is scrapped once and for all.

    Never read the Indo so have no idea the type of stuff they print but the fact that they clearly photoshopped that picture to discredit the anti IW side is worrying. Pure propaganda.

    They credit the actual photographer - Tony Gavin.
    They're hardly going to credit a photographer and then PhotoShop the image.

    As I say, I don't know if it's shopped or not. Could just be crappy focus or jpeg artifacts that make it look fake.

    You'd wonder why theres only the one image though, considering it was taken by a pro photographer you'd expect one or two of the aftermath.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,634 ✭✭✭✭dxhound2005


    That was me.
    As I said, bin charges went from €1.80 to €9.50.
    Going by that almost 10 fold increase in 10 years, I stand by my figures.
    Come back to me then.

    You are on a different system than me. I pay €73.50 per quarter for three small bins. I can't remember what it started out as but it was certainly over €50.

    https://www.oxigen.ie/app/index.php

    You could have said that you are basing you estimation of future water charges on what happened to you bin charges.
