So the government have finalised a package but they won’t say what it is until the blockade is lifted.
Borderline childish expecting anyone to fall for that.

if they do aim to end the blockades it’ll surely be one of the most complex operations for the gardai in a long time, multiple sites/heavy machines/media coverage and possible far right involvement looking to attack them

I’ll believe it when I see it, after their army bluff the other day (that our media seems to have memory holed in record time by the way).

Good lads, give them hell, the softly softly approach should have ended days ago..

Literally just got a call off a Garda that my Gardai Bikesafe workshop for Sunday got cancelled. Looks like they’re mobilizing the entire force.

I hate both sides in this issue.
– The government, because they’re a bunch of wankers, taxing fuel at 60% and refusing to force WFH to save fuel.
– The shitbag protesters who keep increasing their list of demands and blocking off people going to the airport, hospital, etc. They should instead block off the US embassy and Lenster house.

I wonder have the Guards much fuel in the cars/ vans & bikes?

Seems to be optics at the moment. Lots of talk about action. Hardly any action. I don’t think from an operational point of view these protestors can be moved.

I wonder is there an anti protest to the protest tomorrow.

Student protest?

Wouldn’t like to be the family of any of the protestors – they had better have cash bail handy. No doubt there will be late night Courts too. A fair few lads will be missing their kids Communions.

I support that fact that people have the right to protest in Ireland

The keyboard warriors hoping the Guards knock the shite out of protesters in here is a laugh a minute, jaysus wept.

Regulators! We regulate any blocking of fuel in the country, and up to now, we’ve been damn passive too. But you can’t be any babyface from Templemore. Gotta be handy with the water cannon if you know what I mean. Regulators, mount up!
Should have the courts running 24/7 to sort them out like they did in the U.K. after civil unrest.

It’s about time those blockading thugs and their scummy leaders were taken on.

Great news. Hopefully skulls start getting cracked

They need every guard to stand around and watch these mongrels eat breakfast rolls. Do something, protect the country

Blockade went to far. If goes on further people will die. It was stupid selfish self defeating tactic. We will see laws to stop this ever happening again. Some the „leaders“ they had speaking, were exposed for animal abuse and being far right facebook nutters. We have people screaming about immigrants, trans people and the usual hatred from the far right. No discipline of message, just threat the general public that they will bring the coutry to the knees. This was never a protest, but blockade to hold us all hostage. That is unacceptable and can nver happen again.
