@ConorReddy95 Who would a left government do? Represent?
They seem to represent everyone but Irish people.

This government have failed working people at every turn.
We need a general election and a left government that represent the people suffering from this crisis, not those insulated or making money from it

BREAKING: Sinn Féin to table a motion of no confidence in the Government.
Dublin City, Ireland 🇮🇪 English
100% correct.
The list is endless of inept failures in positions they should never be in.
Brian Mac Mághnais@TheBrianMcManus
Half the Irish government have never had a real job. The minister for foreign affairs was a secretary for her politician father, who killed himself, and then she got the name recognition sympathy vote. She was pushed out of the minster for justice role over clear incompetence, and then failed upwards yet again. Simon Harris is a college drop out, and somehow failed his way up to being Taoiseach for no apparent reason other than being another weak ineffectual man in Irish politics that will bend to the whim of his handlers This government needs consequences for their actions, and they face none off the hard work of Irish people paying taxes and being good “don’t rock the boat” Catholics It’s time to rock the fucking boat

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.
That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.
That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.
People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

@KNEECAPCEOL @MassiveAttackUK Any solidarity with whats happening in your own country?

This is the reality of the blockade. Healthcare put at risk. Businesses damaged. The vulnerable made more vulnerable. Ordinary people prevented from going about their daily lives. And with no mandate to do so. It has gone too far - it has to end.

@ThomasByrneTD Honestly? Are you listing things you have already destroyed???
You are a awful human being arent you

@ThomasByrneTD When have you cared about Health Services?
You are a serious spoofer
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.

@PaulTreyvaud His legacy?
Whatever makes you think he cares about that?
Id be more inclined to say all he cares about is his pension and all those skeletons he has in his closet with bis years of dodgy dealing.

This is not how to fight a battle.
I’m no fan of the man but family members or off limits. I know the argument is our family members suffer because of this man’s actions but we are bigger than that
Stay humble. Stay disciplined. Stay honest. Stay true to your word. Stay loyal. But most importantly
Stay together
We win this, we take away the only thing Micheal Martin cares about

The last few days have shown a lot
This government couldn’t care less about you
This government has squandered billions on those that don’t deserve it
This government is incredibly weak
This government is so far removed from reality it’s frightening
This government are shitting themselves
This government is nowhere near as tough as they try to act
This government has gotten it all wrong
This government has seriously underestimated the anger, the frustration, the worry, the levels of stress and desperation of the great Irish people
But they also seriously underestimated the power of the people when they come together
Oh, and there’s no sign of the fucking Left!!

@eoinneylon You know the answer Eoin but we are not allowed say it.......

One thing I've not heard anyone answer is, beyond the €250mn reduction in fuel taxes already in effect (costing the exchequer €4mn a day) where the shortfall should be made up from if we are to cut taxes substantially further? Spending on schools, hospitals, road maintenance?
English
The current protest is but the tip of the iceberg....this is what comes out next.
And this is why those in power will attack everyone who stands against them with anything they can.
Cornered rats is what they are ans its time they got held accountable.

Morning, @IrishTimes @IrishTimesOpEd article today is on the monumental waste of public money that plagues Ireland. The State is pissing billions away every year. The figures are startling. No one is accountable. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

@wednov1 @darraghmcdonagh Yep I am indeed.....at least you know you lack any form of intelligent conversation so you stay hidden behind a faceless profile

@fogarty245 @darraghmcdonagh Aren’t you threatening the entire population?

A smorgasbord of abuse - including a threat against my family - in response to this report.
I hope those commenters and DMers never have to endure that kind of treatment for just doing their jobs, if they ever get jobs.

A warning to everyone in the country at the moment.
While these illegal blockades are stopping fuel deliveries.
The value of the fuel in your home heating tanks and in your car/van/motorbike, has quadrupled in price to the robbers and thieves around the country.w

A conversation with an oncology nurse today.
So many missed appointments.
Stress for patients (who don't need further stress now), and for staff trying to do such an important job.
Enough is enough. #Endtheblockades

This fuel protest is the only dispute I ever observed where the determination of the protesters to do whatever is required to get whatever they want hasn’t involved any statement of what they actually want.
You’ve had your tantrum.
End it now!
