@RichardODonoghu @independent_ire Wait until you hear what @NiallCollinsTD just said about @independent_ire on RTE's The Gathering. More or less claimed it was your TDs blocking the ports and organising the protests.

I have a very clear message for Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael… @independent_ire

@real_eire @thejournal_ie Sure isn't that why it's "comments closed " on the app. Always too afraid to give a right of reply to their fantasy hit pieces.

@thejournal_ie You folks really tried hard to create a hit piece here and utterly failed. Well done Michael, when Ireland called you answered. Respect 🫡

At the height of last week's fuel price protests, a GoFundMe page was set up to by food and hot drinks for those who had brought parts of the country to a standstill. A week later the page has raised €150,000 - but what's going to happen to the money? jrnl.ie/7013354t

@TonightVMTV Guest presenter??? Thanks Jesus for that. He is absolutely terrible at this and completely unfit and biased. You might have a chance to save this show yet!! #tonightvmtv

🗣️ "There is a genuine sense that Government has lost its mandate." – Gary Gannon TD, Social Democrats 🗣️ "How have they lost their mandate, they were elected 6 months ago?" – Guest presenter Shane Coleman #TonightVMTV

@ogormanpeter You could only IMAGINE what grubby little deals MM did to stay in power so he can stay on until July and act all Billy Big Balls for his boss Ursula when she visits her minions. #tonightvmtv

There will be no change until after the #EU presidentity #TonightVMTV #FF #FG

He did in his bollox go down to the protests. #spoofer #tonightvmtv

@Eamon38650173 I get the impression that he's more FG. Although I belive his brother in law is an ex FF minister.

Coleman should run for leadership of Fianna Fáil. #TonightVMTV

@Boomerangjack1 And still the electricity is no cheaper. We should get a reduction for having to look those fucking monstrosities all over the place!!!

Offaly is littered with wimdmills its disgusting #tonightvmtv

Jesus Christ!!!! Coleman is wholly unfit for this presenters job. His bias inevitably comes out on every show. Please get a new host!!! #tonightvmtv

@Boomerangjack1 A picture of turf stockpiled in the Phoenix Pard during WW2. #tonightvmtv Time to reopen the bogs!!!

So basically we could hit the biggest energy crises since ww2 and the government have the bogs closed #TonightVMTV

@journalismWat He NEVER speaks up for middle income workers....always about the low paid who get a multitude of supports to help them. Some people can't even afford to GO to work!!!

#TonightVMTV Fitzgerald is living in an academic ivory tower.

I'd say Gannon was ran from the protests like Murphy was. #tonightvmtv

Good lad Kieran!!!! Better get an ambulance through the blockade for Mark. He's going to be having a coronary there!!! 😂😂😂#liveline

Not this aul bollox Mark again. Just because he is comfortably retired with his pension doesn't mean the rest of us will lay down and take whatever shit FFG shovel at us!! #liveline

Right, it's no longer a question. There is a definite pattern of the callers that are arguing against the #fuelprotest All sounding like retired boomer FFG party members. Strange that.....🤔Probably on RTE speed dial. #liveline

@akevinonearth Where's the insult? Just an observation.

@mark_mcgrath20 I don't understand the benefit to resorting to personal insults

Strangely, most of the callers this week that don't support the protests seem to have the plummy Anglo Irish posh accents. Almost as is they are all FG party members that will blindly follow party edict and eat any kind of hardship that the government dish out. #liveline

Another retired comfortable boomer....probably a retired government advisor #liveline

@MartinXTweets @GardaTraffic @gavpepper85 That's no even at the fuel protests 🤦‍♂️

@OCallaghanJim @fiannafailparty @gardainfo Bringing the army in to this is a really bad move. If you ever want to be leader of FF, this will end your chances. This will be a terrible look for government.

@marti51327 @kevintoconnor @SnDMediaNews You can hardly say he represents a large area as he got only around 7% first preference votes. He didn't even reach the quota for election that last time out missing it by over 1200 votes and was only elected as last man standing.

Tensions Flare at Dublin Fuel Protest as PBP TD Paul Murphy is Chased Away Frustration boiled over on O’Connell Bridge around 3pm today during nationwide fuel price protests, as People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy was chased away by sections of the crowd. Video from SnDmedia shows Murphy surrounded by angry protesters amid the chaos, with palpable anger directed at the left-wing politician despite shared cost-of-living concerns. The demonstrations, involving convoys of tractors and lorries, have disrupted traffic across Ireland over rising fuel costs linked to global events. Protesters demand government action on excise duties and taxes. The incident highlights raw tensions on the ground as economic pressures mount. No injuries reported. Gardaí are monitoring the ongoing protests.
