Silent acquiescence in the face of tyranny is no better than outright agreement. #JustSayNo. #FreeSpeech

@NewstalkFM They’re thinking in their docile heads how grateful the public should be.

Marian Harkin has said the Government’s fuel package is the “best in the EU” and she never considered resigning like Michael Healy-Rae.

@PearseDoherty Frustration is justified but people need more than anger. They need a clear plan that actually lowers costs and improves everyday life. This Government need to go.
English
Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have never and will never serve the interests of the ordinary Irish people. They should go and they should go now.
English
@AontuIE Dismissing or smearing them instead of listening just shows how out of touch this Government has become.
English
The fuel protests were led by decent, hardworking ordinary people.
This Government's handling of the crisis, and their attempts to smear those involved, has been nothing short of shameful.

@AontuIE Spot on. The protests weren’t about politics.. they were about people who simply can’t keep up with the cost of living anymore. When ordinary workers are spending a huge chunk of their wages just to get to work, something is clearly broken.
English
@griptmedia Docile government, goes in one ear and out the other. They don’t care.
English
@FineGael This isn’t an unprecedented crisis anymore… it’s a long-term cost of living issue, and your response is still short-term. As for ‘performative stunts’, at least they’re acknowledging the scale of the problem. You’re managing headlines, not fixing it.
English
@FineGael Calling it ‘protection’ is a stretch. You’re offering temporary relief to farmers and hauliers while the wider public is still paying some of the highest fuel costs in Europe.
English
@FineGael Instead, you wait for protests, then roll out short-term fixes and call it support. People don’t need announcements they need relief that actually lasts.
English
@FineGael Let’s be honest… if you were serious about the cost of living, you would: Permanently cut fuel taxes Suspend carbon tax increases immediately (not delay them) Introduce a fuel price cap Give direct relief to working people, not just schemes and headlines.
English
@FineGael You found €250 million for ‘supports’, but most of it is targeted at industry, not the everyday worker filling their car just to get to work.
English
@FineGael Reducing fuel by a few cent for a few months after prices explode isn’t leadership.. it’s damage control. You’ve cut excise by about 10c recently, but only until July, while Irish drivers are still paying some of the highest fuel taxes in Europe. 
English
The Opposition claims nothing has been done. This is manifestly untrue.
We are implementing significant action, with a total package of €750 million designed to very directly help protect jobs and keep costs down.

@FineGael With the salaries, perks, and pensions you’re on, you don’t ‘feel’ anything the public is going through. Saying ‘we hear you’ means nothing when your policies keep squeezing the very people you claim to support. If you really understood the pressure, you’d act like it.
QME
We are taking real action to reduce costs and support households and businesses.
This is a meaningful package designed to ease pressure where it matters most.

We are living through an unprecedented global energy crisis. We know the pain, the stress, and the very real financial pressure that so many across the country are feeling as a result of this. As a government, we hear you, we have acted, and we are taking further action.

Fine Gael understands the pressures that people are under.
Tánaiste @SimonHarrisTD is appealing to those blocking access to refineries and fuel depots to go home.
We are working on supports but we need the blockade to end and our economy and society to function again.
