    A fair description of what happened, going by all the reports and footage.

    I'm sure they had some lunch and more than likely went to the toilet.

    Enda keeps tightening the tax collar around the dogs neck. The dog will take it for a certain amount of time but then...

    ...when he's not expecting it, the leash will drop and the dog will bite.

    In fairness compared to other austerity protests across Europe...we've been fairly tame here in Ireland.

    Yesterday it was a kidnapping and today it's a fox hunt.

    God knows what it'll have morphed into by tomorrow.

    I agree with him. He didn't call them dogs, btw, just used an analogy and likened their behaviour to that of a pack of hunting dogs chasing the rabbit.

    I'm sure many of the protesters were impeccably well behaved. But some over stepped the mark in terms of decency and respect.

    Well , they've spent the last 48 hours redefining kidnap, inventing bomb threats and posting bullets to themselves. Sinking to schoolyard slagging is hardly breaking new ground.

    He needs to get Noodles to write his similes for him. He's much better at it.

    It certainly is. Joan is no fox, and I don't think Rabbitte was even vaguely involved.

    The lights still on after the six o'clock hour at the FG HQ today, they are definitely keeping busy these days. Most days the place'd be desolate long before that time

    Referring to them as "like hounds after a fox" is not the same as referring to them as dogs. Plus, he seems to have been talking about certain factions and not all protesters.

    I wonder is their fusebox of the outdoor variety. Funny the things I get curious about.

    Nice way to speak about employers, huh?

    He's a schoolteacher...I expect no less condescension from him.
