      They’re on the news there claiming they’re the lifeblood of Ireland. Lads, ye haven’t worked for 3 days and the country is doing fine without ye.

    2. Didn’t take long for the ‚Hundreds of Millions given to Ukraine‘ to be mentioned. The bots are here.

      Park your fucking arses on Doonbeg if you want to inconvenience the cunts actually responsible for this bollocks.

      They need to do something for people that can’t go to the office, like recommend working from home. I can’t get the luas or the bus and I can’t walk because my office it’s really far away. Same for people that can’t drive.

      Actual farmers aren’t able to leave for days on end to sit on their holes up in Dublin! Agri contractors claiming their „feeding the country“ – give me break. The stupidity of this is unreal.

      Ive never seen such polarising opinions „fairplay lads“ to „fucking shitebags“.

      Would love to see a national poll for/against the protests.

    6. Just watching the RTE News

      Theresa Mannion in Galway saying a tanker with 60m litres of fuel on board will not be able to dock and unload tomorrow morning because the tanks at Galway harbour are full and cannot to emptied as road tankers being blocked from leaving the port depot

    7. Daybreak Service Station in Sligo posted on their Facebook that they’re out of Diesel

    8. JustPutSpuddiesOnit on

      I’m away this week, what are average diesel prices at the moment?

    9. Jesus….Kids back in school on Mondsy….
      That will be bleak if the protests are still going.

    10. I really haven’t been keeping up here so sorry if this is an ignorant take, but what can our government do about this? Isn’t Americas war with Iran that caused the Strait to close the reason for this? Like what are people protesting for?

      If you are in good health and have no job this is all fine and dandy – for anyone who works, is sick, needs to get to a chemist for a prescription, is working in emergency services etc it is absolutely shambolic.

      The people who are protesting are nothing more than unpatriotic thugs. Holding a whole country to ransom. They are literally the very scrapings at the end of a barrel. They should be stripped of their citizenship. Absolute dregs. How can they sleep knowing they are affecting people getting dialysis and chemo? They should be shunned by their communities. Utter reprobates.

    12. This will be wildly unpopular amongst the champagne socialists that infest this sub but the working man is being taxed out of existence. We are in a situation where a Grada, Nurse or school teacher can’t afford to rent a flat. The people HAVE to protest at some point. The only type of protest this sub get moist for involves a country 4000 miles away 😂

    13. Would love to see them rock up at Shannon airport to block American warplanes from landing…

      Can we just send in the army lads.

      This stopped being about the government and fuel prices 2 days ago. It is simply about punishing the public. As usual from idiots getting damn close to causing deaths. When power stations shutdown and hospitals run out of backup power I won’t be blaming the state I’ll be blaming these fuckers.

    15. Not another day! it’s wild that the entire country is getting bullied by these truckers and govt doing nothing

    16. Amongst all the petrol and diesel headlines there’s other consequences of blocking ports, depots and warehouses too.

      Happily the protesters saw sense and let a tanker with chemicals for treating water through. Only 1 so far but Irish Water are hoping to agree to get another 11 out tomorrow. If water can’t be treated then a lot of towns and cities throughout the country will have boil water notices.

      Certain gasses used in hospitals are running out too and none of that has been allowed out so hopefully whoever is blocking that will see sense too.

      There’s also feed for pigs and chickens being blocked, so that would need to be sorted fairly lively too.

    17. There will be assaults and even worse if this continues.  
      Protestors and ordinary non protesters are now getting more and more annoyed with each other. 
      What’s the point of it? That’s not going to impact the government.  
      Stop the protest and start it up again next week at government buildings.  

      I don’t see the point of the country turning on each other

      I’m not sold on the concept of inconveniencing a large group of people who are simply trying to go about their business. I feel the same about strike action.

      Yes, I know if there’s enough disruption to influential stakeholders they may then get on to the government to implore them to do something and things may change but there has to be a better way to take this protest to the government without inconveniencing hundreds of thousands of others.

      I also don’t think the government are too bothered because they need so few votes to get re-elected that I’d say they’re going to try to weather this one out.

    19. Hi_there4567 on

      No fresh bread in local shop this morning as the bread van had no diesel.

    20. Deploy the Army, this cannot be allowed to continue. Lives are at stake here, there is protesting and there is holding a country to ransom.

      What amazes me is that house prices have been completely detached from reality for 15 years and hardly anyone bats an eyelid. But let fuel go up 20p a litre and suddenly the whole country is ready to collapse.

      Few of our major surgeries had to be cancelled today as patients from munster and connaght couldn’t get up to Dublin. All these patients are kids. This has gotten out of hand and is putting people’s health at risk.

      Speaking as a farmer, this shit drives me nuts. Every time we have a grievance (though they are genuine), the public has to suffer. It’s fucking infuriating. The thing that always gets me is the fleet of shiny €150k+ tractors blocking up traffic. If they really wanted to do the poor mouth they’d be parking up my 20 year old heap of shite instead.

    24. bigdog94_10 on

      In all seriousness, this has gotten completely out of hand.

      These lads are, respectfully, not the brightest bunch. Remember that there is no actual lobby group behind this, this is complete vigilanteism. Where things are organised by lobbies there’s usually controls and safeguards put in place to make sure things like this don’t happen.

      The Gardaí have been too soft touch, even aiding the blockades in a lot of cases.

      This is now a matter of national importance. Surely common sense needs to prevail and arrests need to start. The rest of the hardmen will back down soon enough then.

    25. I am curious, shouldn’t all of these folks just be passing on the extra costs of fuel to whoever they’re selling to? Like hauliers and farmers and the like, I’m hearing folks say their livelihood is at risk but I don’t understand how that’s the case. It’s not like the farmer up the road won’t be equally affected or the haulier next door.

      Is this a contracts thing or something like that? Genuinely curious because it doesn’t seem to add up for me and I suspect it’s just not knowing something about how it works.
