@binmanbenn @IrelandFootball Tell me the managers name , look at the Demographics of where the players play , tell me how these players were selected ? And how many games outside Dublin that the manager has been to ? No players from munster ? Not one ? Its laziness on behalf of manager , and nepotism.

@OneUpTopPodcast What has Martin actually done to justify this? Gets 5 minutes here and there. Just don’t see the hype at all, at all.

@allinadaysgraft @IrelandFootball You’re confusing nepotism with academy structures not producing players. Some players leave Munster & Connaught to pursue their career elsewhere. Look @ bigger picture, not the name of the club player is playing at. Crying “nepotism” if you don’t get picked isn’t good for life

@binmanbenn @IrelandFootball I was always told never to argue with a fool , as you then become the fool . You are naive if you think the selection process is not political and full of nepotism , that the underage coaches actually care , they just want their pay packets , keep their friends happy in Dublin

@allinadaysgraft @IrelandFootball So somebody has to be included from Munster to satisfy you. Who is so good at Treaty, Kerry, Cobh etc at this age that this “nepotism” affected? Furthermore, a manger must see a player play in his home county or it doesn’t count as having seen them play. Nonsense paranoia

@binmanbenn @IrelandFootball Do a survey of LOI Academies , ask them how many times an Ireland underage manager or coach has been to their home games , the result would amaze you . Politics , nepotism , club affiliations , same old same old .

@PadgeMc1 Fair play to both of them. Sticking up for the people who are realistic. If you think you can block the place up over this, you cry babies will block the motorways and ports if you don’t get your Christmas bonus next.

Michael Martin and Simon Harris have lost control of the country. They need to be removed from office before the shit hits the proverbial fan.

Petrol Today Is €1.48 a Litre In Ukraine Host on local radio in Donegal going through a few European fuel prices this morning, looks up Ukrainian prices which are significantly less than the Irish prices. As are Moldova, at only €1.46 a litre. The Irish Are Being Extorted 🇮🇪

@paulmurphy_TD The dangerous precedent being set is thinking you can block a motorway or port just because you don’t like something. Fuel this week, it’ll be something else next week.

The threat to use Defence Forces against protesters is extremely worrying. It should be withdrawn. People have a right to protest without the army being sent against them. This will create a dangerous precedent that will be used against other protesters in future.

@Toibin1 People like you will have people believe that if they don’t get their own way all they have to do is park on the motorway or block ports from now on. It’ll be fuel this week and something else next week.

Is the government going to tell Gardaí to put on riot gear, helmets and use batons against school bus drivers, farmers? This government is escalating the situation rather than simply talking to the protesters. Talk to the protesters now.

@Polito_loco You just latch yourself on to anything and make it about race and immigration. It’s about fuel. You’re nothing but a leech on society.

Has anyone else noticed there hasn't been a single stabbing or rape reported since the old fuel protestors rocked up to the GPO? The safest 24 hours in Dublin City centre in many a year. O'Connell St would generally be crawling with dregs from 3rd world hell holes, gypsies picking pockets, and of course our own degenerates high as kites on crack shuffling around. Just a co-inky-dink I'm sure.

🚨 Fuel Protest Latest ⛽️ O'Connell St remains blocked! M7 route junction 28 /29 blocked! M8 route blocked. Keep her lit lads! This is people power! 🇮🇪

From an ambulance driver! Eight hours on the road to Galway and back - and the world felt both very small and very exposed... There is something surreal about watching a country unfold through the narrow frame of an ambulance window. Four hours there - and four hours back - sirens at intervals, the low hum of urgency never quite settling - while outside, tractors and articulated lorries line the routes in quiet defiance. Farmers and drivers, livelihoods pressed to the edge by the blunt arithmetic of fuel prices. A country paused... A country pushing back... And yet - something else. When the blue lights cut through the slow tide of protest, the road opened. Not reluctantly. Not grudgingly. Instinctively. Engines idled. Gaps appeared. Hands signalled. A passage was made. A quiet choreography of respect, repeated across miles of road. No announcements. No negotiation. Just a shared understanding that, whatever else is happening, some things come first. In that moment, whatever grievances held those roads in place yielded to something older, deeper - an unspoken social contract. That life takes precedence. That urgency, real human urgency, still matters. Inside the ambulance, time moves differently. Suspended. Clinical. Personal. You become acutely aware of your own fragility - your body reduced to numbers, rhythms, probabilities. A fast-tracked angiogram awaits. Efficient. Necessary. Almost transactional. And yet, layered over it all is a wider unease - not just about the heart, but about the world it exists within. Because beyond the blue lights and the motorway miles, something else is unfolding. Across the Atlantic, Donald Trump dominates the airwaves... again - language stripped of diplomacy, restraint, or anything resembling statesmanship. Threats of ending civilisations issued with a casualness that would once have been unthinkable, now folded into the daily churn of headlines. The stakes, of course, remain very real. And so the dissonance sharpens. A man in an ambulance, heading west, thinking about inflammation and arteries - while a world leader speaks in tones that inflame nations. Farmers block roads because they can no longer afford to move forward - yet those same farmers move without hesitation when a life is in motion... The first week of April feels less like a moment in time and more like a fault line - between noise and substance, performance and principle, power and responsibility. There was a time - not perfect, not innocent - but steadier. When politics, for all its flaws, at least aspired to be just... 'boring'. Competent. Measured. When the adults, however imperfect, held the room. Now it often feels like the room has been handed over. And yet, on a blocked road somewhere between east and west, there was a reminder: When the moment truly mattered - when it was life or delay, urgency or obstruction - it was not the powerful who led. It was ordinary people, without hesitation, without announcement, without ego, who cleared the way. Not for recognition. Not for credit. But because it was the right thing to do. And that should give us pause. Because if the baseline of leadership has now been set by those standing quietly at the side of the road - instinctive, grounded, decent - then the question is no longer what leadership looks like. The question is why so many of those in power fall so far short of it... MSM won't publish this,,

@kbx756 @SuzanneLC3 So therefore if another ambulance, fire or Garda vehicle was to come they are now being held up by the truck.

@binmanbenn @SuzanneLC3 This lorry along with many other cars and lorry’s were not apart of the protest as they were still working and drove on the hard shoulder to pass it. So my point still stands. Glad I could clear that up for you 😊

@Toibin1 We don’t live in Spain, Peadar. It’s like comparing your salary to your Spanish counterpart. Compare bread, butter and pints and they’ll differ too.
