I’m really struggling to understand what these guys want. They have done some admirable work. But in respect of the social contract public spending has virtually doubled in less than a decade. Ireland has a highly distributionist welfare model. So, what specifically do they want?

@eoinneylon Protests served there purpose so 👍🏼 worth noting that irrelevant of average wage in Ireland, some countries in EU are still paying less for fuel even though oil is a commodity
English
Once the new 10c reduction comes into affect tonight, this will bring prices in Ireland down this table further. Price of oil going up is negating that, however.
Worth noting that the average wage in Ireland is 54% above the EU average wage though. (ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/p…)

@JohnOBrennan2 Spare us your fake outrage as your posts are beyond shameless these days - real people of Ireland agreed with the protest versus WEF paid supporters of government who’ll agree with anything once the price is right
English
Spare us from people who think they represent the ‘real’ people of Ireland. Utter shamelessness.
English
@paulmurphy_TD Just to be clear, I agree with you for once but I am absolutely certain, you should never run this country with leftist lunacy
English
We have no confidence in this government.
It must go and a general election should be held.
We need a left government that represents those who suffer from the cost of living and housing crisis, not those who profit from them.

@JohnOBrennan2 On behalf of the people of Ireland, I say this unequivocally - no one gives an actual fuck about your 🐎💩 opinions. Enjoy the WEF money
English
This is an outrageous smear on the Gardai.
The provocation came from people who thought they could take the law into their own hands.
Declan Ganley@declanganley
Galway Port, entirely peaceful, even joyful #FuelProtest and right now AGS in riot gear arriving. I am 57 years of age and have been pro-Garda my whole life. Whoever is deploying these officers is carrying out an act of wilful provocation.
English
@Default69202648 Majority supported the protests and are not in the far right boogiemen club - just a few leftists lunatics were against it as are paid for posting 🐎💩
English
Fuel protests end without the civil war that the Far Right promised.
English
@JohnOBrennan2 How vile must someone be to take WEF money and betray their countrymen - hope it’s worth it and hope hell has a place reserved
English
Exemplary work by the Gardai in giving the capital’s streets back to its people.

Commissioner Justin Kelly, CSupt ODonnell and CSupt Armstrong parading frontline Uniform Gardai before the overnight Operation on OConnell Street. All blockades in Dublin are now cleared. OConnell Street remains temporarily closed as the ongoing operation is finalised.

@Default69202648 You must be so happy - sad day for Ireland though when this happens to peaceful protestors
English
The Gardai have lifted the siege at Whitegate.
A round table of government and opposition parties hopefully to meet the IFA, the IRHA, and social partners to find away forward for the most vulnerable.
English
@ThomasByrneTD He’s is communicating with the electorate as you mock him on X showing utter disrespect to the people who elected you - people won’t forget this and saving the post just in case. Hope the EU money your taking is worth fucking over your fellow country men
English
Who on earth do you think you are? Would do you better to worry about the commuters and health services of Meath and let the civic authorities do their job.
Peadar Tóibín TD@Toibin1
I have spoken to the protesters today. They are willing to allow 10 loads of fuel out of Whitegate today for emergency services. This could increase tomorrow if there are positive results from the talks today. The government must engage.
English
@fiannafailparty Disgraceful tactics used today on the day of your daughters wedding - you should step down as leader as you have completely failed your duties and the people of Ireland
English
"We're in a situation that, because of these blockades, we are now on the precipice of turning oil away from the country."
English
@MichealMartinTD Shame on you and hope those that voted for you will remember this day for next election
English
It is unconscionable and illogical that amidst a global supply crisis, blockades are pushing Ireland to the precipice of turning away vital oil shipments to international buyers.
English
@Independent_ie Irish media paid for government propaganda 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fuel protest organiser had tax judgments of €550,000 and was convicted of cruelty after 60 cattle died on farm buff.ly/PtD8KrA
English
It’s a shame you finally got what you always wanted to be leader of this country and completely failed your duties in recent major crises - Covid complete overreaction and fuel crisis no real action. I assume the EU is in complete control of Ireland after bailout as no real Irish man would do this to his own people and attempt to defend himself daily.

That is what leadership looks like and I am talking about the protestors.
English
@JohnOBrennan2 How much does the WEF and the EU elites pay you to trash talk your fellow countrymen
English
They have absolutely *zero mandate* to represent anybody, unlike the public representatives we elected to the Dail in 2024.
TheJournal.ie@thejournal_ie
John Dallon and a small group of other protesters have arrived and been turned away from the talks at Leinster House. They now say the protests will continue. jrnl.ie/7008524

@JohnOBrennan2 Blockading Dublin probably won’t make a difference but you’d want to be an awful idiot to believe protesting outside US embassy would achieve anything - case and point, you posted it
English
Why aren’t the idiots blockading central Dublin not protesting outside the US Embassy?
Instead of blocking huge numbers of hard working Dubliners from getting home after a hard days work.
Huge numbers of buses are stranded on or around the Quays.
Does this really help?

A groundbreaking study from 2001 found that 90% of patients were able to CURE their high blood pressure, not with pills but with fasting.
The medical establishment didn’t celebrate the finding or put it into practice. Instead, they ignored it.
“In this study, 174 consecutive patients with high blood pressure… normalized their blood pressure without the need for medication.”
Dr. Alan Goldhamer, the lead author of that study, said he saw things that “were not supposed to be happening.”
“I saw people with chronic diseases like high blood pressure resolving their hypertension, getting off the medications” with “medically supervised water-only fasting.”
“Use of fasting helps the body do what it really does best, which is heal itself if you get out of the way.”
STUDY: Medically supervised water-only fasting in the treatment of hypertension
