So let me get this straight, lads. You’re saying you voted confidence in a party and a government that you clearly have no confidence in whatsoever. Brilliant. Truly inspiring stuff. There’s something oddly comforting in knowing we’re represented by politicians who can look their voters in the eye, make promises, and then casually vote against them the moment the party whip cracks. Principles? Optional. Backbone? Negotiable. But sure look, why stand by what you told the people who elected you when it’s far easier to nod along, keep the seat warm, and toe the party line.

The day after they voted confidence in their parties and the Irish government, Albert Dolan, James O’Connor and Ryan O’Meara, all of Fianna Fáil release a statement trying to distance themselves from their own party and the actions of government! These lads must think we’re actual idiots! The same day they signed off on a €20,000 pay rise for the director of RTE! Folks, this is a regular thing! Are your eyes opening now? 🇮🇪

If these 7 independent TD’s had voted against the government yesterday the count would have been 85 - 85 so the deciding vote would have rested with the Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy, who is also an independent. The Power rested with these so called Independent TD’s they should have represented our voices, but they didn’t!

"I've been accused of standing on a picket and if I could do it all over again tomorrow I'll be with them, because they're the real people of Ireland." Well said Richard O'Donoghue and extra points for referring to Timmy Dooley as "Timmy Dolittle" in the Dáil 😂

Fianna Fáil Cllr Seamus Butler of Longford Town responded to this woman this way after she emailed him about her struggles and asked him to vote no confidence in his own party. While he actually can’t vote anyway, his response speaks volumes about how Fianna Fáil view the ordinary Irish person. They simply don’t care.

Last night we asked people to sign a petition of 'no confidence' in the government. There was so much traffic to our server that it could not take the pressure. Please try again and share. aontu.ie/sign-we-have-n…

@Ireland_Votes People continue to get angry and excited about these politicians betraying the people 🙄 You knew this would happen. You voted for them. It’s not the first time. You voted for them again. Stop expecting them to do the magically change and do the right thing. They do NOT care

I used to have this mental illness where l thought logical arguments would change someone's mind

Mother of God. The Irish Media Minister says he will be asking the Media Commission to "examine" protest coverage because it was too lopsided in favour of the farmers and truckers. The government sent in the military to break up protests and now they want to clamp down on how the media covers those protests because it made the government look bad. Ireland is gone full totalitarian.

FF junior minister Niall Collins says the fuel protests have gone too far. Niall receives a taxpayer-funded tax-free payment of around €400 a week to cover his dodgy mileage claims. There are protesters who have to work a full week to earn what Niall gets just for his diesel.

#fuelprotest Just recieved an email back from Michael Healy Rae that he will not be voting no confidence if I was from Kerry I would be boycotting all their buisnesss not good enough !!!!

72 TDs have confirmed they will vote no confidence in this government. The majority required is 87. Eyes should rightly turn to those independents who are propping this government up…

Wow - Irish police tell protestors if they HONK their horns, they are interfering with a police operation. Western citizens have no rights. The government decides what is permitted dissent.

After this protest Michael Lowry's seat should be toast But it's not , he will likely top the poll again. Same applies for Boxer Moran, Healy Raes, Marian Harkin etc That's where voter discipline needs to change

"They went too far..." Fuel protest organiser Chris Duffy is calling for a national day of strike and protest tomorrow in response to the brutality farmers and truckers suffered at the hands of the state. We all need to support this, it's time for the Irish to stand together as one.

Well this hasn't aged well..

🇮🇪🚨 Reminder that all 30 Sinn Féin TDs [MPs] voted in favour of ever increasing carbon taxes 💰⬇️ 🇪🇺 In fact the majority of the so-called opposition did along with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil. #FuelProtest 🚜 🚛 🇮🇪

I’ll tell you who @Toibin1 is. He’s a politician who cares about his constituents and fights with them, not against them. @ThomasByrneTD, you need to realise you work for the people and not for yourself. This protest has highlighted the incompetence of the leadership, and if you can’t see that, I pity your constituents.

Traitors to their own. Martins coaches limerick bussing in the treasonous boys in blue, In the new Garda those uniforms will be Irish ☘️ emerald green
