    Has anyone else been inconvenienced by the sit down protest on O' Connell St right now? After a crappy day (studying since 5am, exam went ****e) I was on my way to the missus for the evening. The 1 bus was just two minutes away from O' Connell St when that crowd decided to do a sit down protest and block all traffic around the bridge.

    I was and am against Irish Water. But that shower of idiots aren't helping anything. Had a bit of an exchange with a couple of them and they were absolute scumbags.

    Sure they have fuck all of importance to do with their useless existences. Why would Eirigi tossers, guy fawkes wannabes and pseudo revolutionaries care about inconveniencing thousands of commuters, workers, students, shoppers and families trying to get home ?

    I've been a victim of those kinds of protests several times over the years- it's always the innocent people trying to go about their day who end up getting shafted.

    You should take a walk up and give them a piece of your mind instead of whining like a bitch on the internet about it

    That was exactly the point I made to one of them, and I got a volley of abuse. I gave twice as much back. It's sad, they have completely taken over and ruined the anti Irish Water movement.

    Ah right so anyone who doesn't agree with a shower of self entitled gob****es blocking traffic and people from getting home from the city center is whining like a bitch ? I'm sure you've "whined" about something or other in 20,000+ posts since you've been a member. Your arse sore from sitting on that tarmac all evening URL ?

    Gardai should water cannon them to give them a wash, then pepper spray if they refuse to move, if that doesn't work then tear gas, if that doesn't work, just taser them and put them in stocks for inconvenienced people to throw rotten fish guts at them.
    Then water cannon them as they will need a wash.

    You need to re-visit your history books. 1916 was nothing to do with stopping the march of imperialism!

    would you have more respect for them if they shot a few people in front of their families.

    Are you for real? There's nothing heroic about them. They're absolute scumbags, they did nothing but hurl abuse at me. Not that I care, I'm surprised they could even string words together. One of them got so drunk the ambulance had to cart him off.

    It's pathetic you'd compare the 1916 heroes to these guys.

    There just making a show of themselves. I get a right laugh out of there videos online. When they stick it to the Garda and the Garda stick it back to them. There was a gas video of a sergeant in which he gave just as good as he got, ended up the protesters ****ing off. Then a super who was fairly large himself, telling a large lady she would want to lose some weight. You could have made one of them, 'ohhhhh no you didn't' bitch slap videos that are on YouTube.

    Then another fella trekking down the bog to meet some minister who wasn't in his office old to harass some young lad, who in the end told him he was just a civil servant and not a political member so your man left.

    Started out a good cause now there just making a show of themselves and have lost there original goal. To me they have turn more into a group who keep on try to push the boundary's of the law to see how far they can get, before getting so footage of someone losing the rag then editing and putting it on YouTube.

    You brought 1916 into it. It was simply pointed out to you how ludicrous that was :):)
