I hate these people. As if they people they're protesting against get the number 11 bus home.

About a year ago there was a similar Eirigi protest and, even though I had ample cash to get a second bus after we had to abandon our first one, I spent 45 minutes getting my €2.35 back from one of the protesters.

God I despise the nutters within the far left.

Bollocks. Same old whingeing and baseless accusations along the lines of "AHEORE DAT CHOILDS SICK". Suppose the Gardai hadn't been there. Enda Kenny may be unpopular, but he doesn't deserve to be torn apart.

Just been to the shop and that tool was on FM104, the guy who always seems to be filming for these protests who got shown up.by the sergeant last week. They say there is still 2 to 300 (probably 20 or 30) outside the garda station.

Gardai showing incredible restraint there.

Duggy747 · 05-11-2014 11:14pm

Incredible restraint considering the amount of poking, prodding and pushing those people were doing to the Gardaí as they surrounded the car, in any other country the police would be cracking skulls to get people away from a government official.

But when the Gardaí are forced to push them back, which is to be expected given the volatile nature of the crowd here, it's "brutality".

There's people aching and twitching for that one video that'll happen to catch a Garda acting inappropiately that will be blown up to be used as a stick to bash the entire force. Like the rape claim made against those Gardaí at Corrib and much of the public hopped on board demanding blood.

Plus, the comparisons to the Nazis / Gestapos is pathetic.

Gary Gallagher I really mean this.. It's time we start punching back and if the one that punches a garda ends up in court we the real irish people ( not the guards) need to kick in the door of the court and walk out with our fellow irish person... It has to be anarchy, politicians and those who stand with them need to be pulled off their high horses and shown their place..

BoJack Horseman · 05-11-2014 11:24pm

If any semi good can come from this is that people are catching on to that there is a rather insidious underbelly of militant activism growing in the country.

I've said it before, but Eirigi are a particular out there bunch.

An odd mix of communism & ultranationalism with a penchant for violence...... Kinda reminds me of Putin's Cossack mobs patrolling parts of Russia.

A lot of members bent on "taking back the country"...... Which can never be good.

Perhaps it's time ordinary Irish people became more vocal about standing behind the gardai against unelected anarchic gurriers roaming around Dublin assaulting workers and abusing the gards. As said incredible, and in my view unwarranted, restraint has been shown by the gardai in the face of real abuse from absolute scumbags who represent no one in this society, are not elected and whose only aim is to cause trouble.

I'd support the gardai being more forceful with some of these individuals.

Threats of petrol bombs etc. on that page.

Typical moronic ramblings of knuckle-dragging uneducated c*nts like Eirigí.

They have about as much political knowledge as that turd I left in the toilet bowl this afternoon.

dublinman1990 · 06-11-2014 12:45am

I walked by that sit-down protest at O'Connell Bridge this evening after I with many other passengers were asked to get off the No.1 bus to Santry (from Dublin Bus) near the middle of the bridge while the protest was still going on as I saw it for only a few more minutes.

The other Dublin Bus routes that were blocked on the bridge at the time were the No 4, 14 and 123. This was around 4:40pm today.

As I walked past the protest; I saw a drunk guy arguing with one of the female protesters about the 'STATE OF TEH TRAFFIC'. The female protestor remarked back to him that they were 'protesting for the people of Ireland'. Yeah f**king right I'd say :rolleyes:.

You even blocked a lot of buses going from the direction of Parnell Square because of this little scene in town today. Well done you Anonymous nutters. :mad:

The northbound traffic was cleared when I walked near to Eason's Book shop afterwards.

The fact that you always want beligerent protesters beaten up or worse makes you as bad as the people you are complaining about . Can't you envision a day when you might care about something enough to protest. I can imagine you beating people about the head while screaming maintain the status quo you bastards.

I have protested before and i will again, the difference is that i do it in a PEACEFUL manner, if i acted the way those scrotes do.i would expect to be hit with a baton or pepper sprayed. If you can't see that their behaviour is unacceptable then it's you who.has the issues not me.

You seem obsessed with batons and pepper spray, I'm starting to suspect childhood trauma of some sort. My point was that your craving for a violent response makes you just as BAD.
I do have an issue with internet revenge fantasists.

Hint again, the pages are directed towards local residents. They ain't national like an Ireland says NO!

Could ask the same of a Cork man or following Manchester United or Liverpool when they have Cork City FC.

Hint people do what that want.

I've been to plenty of protests. I've never once seen anyone act like that. If that was a bouncer at a club the woman would have got a stomping on her head rather than being pushed back.

You can even clearly see that she was pushed back. There's no punch. There's no fist. Just some stupid woman screaming abuse.

Barely There · 06-11-2014 9:00am

I have to laugh when accusations of misjudging the public mood are thrown at the Government.

These wannabe revolutionaries do nothing but undermine public support for their cause-de-jours.

I feel sorry for the people trying to get back home to their families after a hard day's work who were inconvenienced by these arseholes - but it's almost worth letting them protest in this manner - shows them up for the idiots they truly are.

An extremely happy childhood, Both parents, loving siblings, nice home and plenty of presents at christmas, No drug or drink problems in the family. Maybe that's why you dislike me so much, because i am not one of the downtrodden unwashed who you seem to want to protect so badly.

FWIW I am not "craving" a violent response but i am craving the guards being given a loose rein to deal with these so called protesters when THEY get violent. I see many claiming garda brutality yet even with all of the videos that the scrotes have uploaded no one has been able to point out garda brutality, There have been a few claims of "heavy handed" response but tbh not even seeing that.

Triboro · 06-11-2014 9:03am

Everyone is entitled to protest...Half the country protested last saturday over water charges in a proper manner and got their message out there big time...Blocking traffic and disrupting ordinary peoples lives and maybe hindering emergency services transporting sick people etc is stupid.
