@IrishCommunists Bring back Vincent Browne

Throwback to when #vincentbrowne tore shreds off Brian Hayes. The reality is that millionaire TDs from FFG don't understand the #fuelprotests because they're not impacted by them in any shape or form.

@corkbeo This is sad and upsetting to see.

@danobrien20 Why is critical infrastructure owned by foreign private companies ? FF again.

Ireland is now at great risk of inflicting a catastrophe on itself. Blockades of critical infrastructure nodes must end, or be ended.

@constanceshortc Everything has changed this evening. All Garda leave is cancelled for the next 3 days and a water canon is on its way to the rebel county. People are going to come out

@EoinLenihan Police turning on protesters. Government blocking a government TD entering negotiations with protester reps. What is Mr Martin thinking ?

Looking like things could get nasty tomorrow as the fuel protests enter their fifth day. 👇👇👇

@deric_tv Garda leave cancelled. Water canon on its way to Cork.

NEW: Fuel protests in Ireland; 'We Want this Government Gone' John Dallon-Protest Spokesperson. 🇮🇪📺 Here's the latest this Friday 10th April #Ireland #fuelprotests #farmers #truck #irish instagram.com/reel/DW9BfEICZ…

@gavpepper85 @rte Keep away from our protest

The Irish goverments response so far to this situation is appalling. Fix the problem and do your job. No more supports until blockade ends, meeting hears rte.ie/news/politics/… via @rte

National Strike Monday 13 April

@higginsdavidw The Irish government needs to stop wasting OUR taxes helping foreign countries and foreign citizens. It's OUR wages.

The fuel debate has several economic and data sins at once: ❌ Comparing Spain fuel prices to Ireland without comparing wages ❌ Sharing the % of taxes on diesel before the March 25th excise cut (now a lower %) ❌ Thinking farmers are hit by headline diesel prices (they pay much lower taxes on marked gas oil). ❌ Claiming farmers are going out of business by taxes. They are (rightly) in receipt of massive EU subsidies so food is affordable for all households.

@doniekel @EO_Halloran @TrophyMerchants This WAS all about fuel costs. NOW it is the government turning against its citizens.

@EO_Halloran @Scoondle @TrophyMerchants This is all about fuel costs as well as nothing to do with fuel costs. As Gavan says, the final straw.

Its extremely hard not to sound condescending explaining to people that the government doesn't actually want all businesses to collapse and go under from fuel prices Even by their own logic, why would a government want to crash their own economy and make itself poorer?

@faminepot47 Who allowed that. Time for hard working people to strike. No more shit.

Water cannon filling up for cork with escorts.....release the pigeons , send the word !! Act accordingly...

@culladgh Negotiators blocked at government buildings. Garda leave cancelled. A water canon being sent to Cork.

I know he's not here anymore but Gavin Reilly explains in clear as day language why the demands of the protestors can't be met.

@EO_Halloran @TrophyMerchants No, this is the straw that broke the camel's back. The Gardaí have tonight canclled all leave. A water can has been deployed to Cork (Irish Examiner) I am dumbfounded by such a reaction by our State.

@Scoondle @TrophyMerchants The protests only happened now. They weren't happening before the global oil crisis. So they are a reaction to the sudden rising prices over the last month caused by the global shortage Basically if Trump didn't attack Iran last month, we wouldn't see these protests today

@irishexaminer I do not understand why the government cannot sit down at a table and talk. What are they thinking ?

Garda water cannon arrives in Cork as fuel protests declared 'national exceptional event' irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a…

@EO_Halloran @TrophyMerchants I remember when a barrel of oil cost $1.40 and diesel price was €1.45 per litre. I was a taxi driver, that's why I remember. So, yes that is the reason for the latest increase. That is not what the protest is about. It is about government taxing everything we earn/buy.

@Scoondle @TrophyMerchants The problem is the crisis was triggered by a global fuel shortage causing prices to rise rapidly. And they'll continue to rise. Now everyone is in trouble so previous conversations are now irrelevant. Which requires new ones in a new situation that's ever changing

@REBELC0RK Are tankers coming from Dublin ?

Fuel ⛽️ alert 🚨 I just got Diesel in Seamus Reillys maxol in blackpool, they still have diesel and petrol. Also got told circle k commons road just got delivery 🚚 of petrol and diesel and holyhill has also got a delivery. Plenty of fuel ⛽️ still left north side. #Cork

@declanganley All Garda leave has been cancelled. The government blocked negotiations in Dublin. The State is now moving against its citzens.

Here at the #FuelProtest at Galway Port and I confirm that Guinness supply trucks are being waived through 😁. This one got a cheer from the protesters few seconds before this clip.

@mickthehack Gardaí need to all suddenly get a "blue flu". Government and Justice in Ireland are now turning on protesters. All citizens know what to do when this happens.

It is, essentially, code red. It allows the Commissioner to move people at short notice. Here is the Garda statement:

@mickthehack Ok. So the Gardaí are locking down. The government have locked down. This is going to go on for a long time. Apparently, negotiating with 2 sides is a lost skill in this government.

@TrophyMerchants @EO_Halloran Rural TDs have been saying it for months. Check out Ken O'Flynn and Michael Collins speeches on oireachtas.ie. They were ignored. 2 government TDs were supporting the protesters today. This has been going on for months where I live.

@Scoondle @EO_Halloran That's what you said earlier Gavan, I replied, any reply to that tweet per chance?
