    When I saw footage of the protest on Saturday I was struck with the similarity between Burton in her car and a rat caught in a cage. With the latter you usually drown them in a barrel of water.

    Generally dogs are a lot stronger than foxes and are relatively likely to catch them, therefore I conclude that Enda has inadvertently stated that the government stands absolutely no chance against the wave of dissent currently sweeping the nation ;)

    You have obviously no experience of hounds chasing a fox. The fox, thankfully, has much more stamina and guile than the hounds. It also knows its territory much better. It therefore is not caught by the hounds very often. Immaterial to the topic but just to correct manipulation of facts to suit your point.

    Fair enough, I'll admit indeed to not having much experience of the subject, was making assumptions. :p

    Fact remains that Enda and Joan are emulating King Canute here by riding into the sea challenging the tide to a fight. History will record that 2014 was the year the Irish people finally decided that enough injustice was enough.

    I'm against coursing too, but that doesn't mean the poor auld dogs should get tormented.

    Maybe he meant "dawgs"?

    One of the gards in Tallaght called Enda and told him he was needed in Jobstown immediately as their was a serious updog problem.

    " what's updog "? Said Enda.

    And people who are against the way Irish Water has been set up, but don't agree with some of the protestors' tactics.

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

    Enda Kenny referred to the people who protested in jobstown over the weekend as dogs in the dail today. What does after hours think about this? If you havn,t yet heard it..watch the 9 o clock news.
