🇮🇪🚨 A distinct lack of Indians & Africans at these Protests compared to St. Patrick's Day last month. When it comes to real issues affecting Ireland, these 1st & 2nd generation migrants are nowhere to be seen 🇮🇪 🚜 🚛 Protest in Cork City just now ⬇️

No protesters stopped us from getting to Dublin for Katie’s appointment tomorrow. In fact, they went out of their way to help us. We were shown kindness, support, and understanding from people who owed us nothing. So let’s be very clear, the problem is not the protesters. The problem is a system that has left families like ours fighting for far too long. While others point fingers, we are the ones living this reality. And today, the people being blamed were the very ones offering help.

The genie is out of the bottle. People in Ireland can now see how the system really works. The ordinary man or woman has no voice at the table. But this week felt like a fresh start. The government just got its biggest wake-up call ever, thanks to the brave farmers and hauliers nationwide. And remember, the real power sits with everyday voters at the ballot box. Our army is bigger. #FuelProtest #MakeWorkPay

"Gardai have families and bills to pay also" - I mean, mother of god. Gardai were paid the prior 24 hours to bash the skulls in of working class men fighting to survive. Gardai were paid the prior 24 hours to smash down with their authoritarian boot on the heads of working class men peacefully protesting to save their livelihood. Gardai were paid the prior 24 hours to liberaly shower hard working men in some of the strongest forms of pepper spray in the EU that humantarian orgs have spoken out against. But god fuckin forbid the Gardai were peacefully boycotted in Ireland and rejected for doing all the fucking above and demanding they have a fuckin conscience and think about their actions against their fellow man and woman. We see it across Europe, police forces down tools and join the ranks of peaceful protest. AGS is not fit for purpose. It is the world's most corrupt police force bar none!

Fuel Protest Latest - O'Connell is cleared also. A sad end after a week of peaceful protest on Dublin’s main thorough way. My heart aches this day for what Ireland has become. How any elected official goes back into their community again allowing this is beyond me. Ireland is undeniably a fascist totalitarian state. I said privately to people yesterday what needs to happen, I can't say it here.

There is a war brewing in Galway.... a thundery, stormy night is kicking up a storm... the freebirds are flying. God bless all our brothers in arms. The Public Order are on the otherside. Chills! Erin Go Bragh 🇮🇪

@Polito_loco @MercerTaye4401 All the new Irish are in hiding knowing they’re not part of the country. Haven’t seen an Indian, African or Middle Eastern person come out and side with the native Irish.

Ireland is in a CODE RED SITUATION. Where are the so called "black Irish"? The ones that wave their passports. The ones that flee persecution to a country where the natives are being persecuted, here in Ireland. @MercerTaye4401 has put an urgent call to all African to stand up in solidarity with Irish to join the protests. I know proud South African families, some of the best people, proud, god-fearing, christians, and love our traditional values. Please join us! If not now, WHEN?!!!

Illegal immigrants and so-called 'refugees' to Ireland must be choking themselves laughing at the lengths Irish politicians will go to to keep the taxpayer paying for their keep. It's not all about petrol and diesel, you know.

🚨BREAKING Gardai have now gotten very heavy-handed with peaceful fuel protesters. The orders have been given and come down from above. The Irish won’t back down no matter what dirty govt tactics are thrown 🇮🇪 Follow us and share 🔄

Posting again in case there are arrests today. If that happens, it could be the final straw for @MichealMartinTD and @SimonHarrisTD. They’ve stirred up a beast, and there’s no pulling it back now. #FuelProtests #Peaceful #MakeWorkPay

@Toibin1 You’re part of the opposition it’s time to back the people. This government has never been called out for what they do to Irish people. They will win a no confidence vote every time. Do something else

The government has decided to pepper spray citizens before speaking to them. This government is fuelling discontent rather than reducing tensions. The opposition should call a motion of no confidence in this government.

Folks, this is absolutely genuine and this needs to be put on BLAST EVERYWHERE. COPY / PASTE SCREEN SHOT RT ANY PROTESTORS ARRESTED CAN CONTACT SOLICITOR, PADRAIG LANGSCH OF LANGSCH & CUNNANE. HE'S ALREADY SORTED A MAN ARRESTED IN WHITE GATE, CORK PROTEST. PUT IT IN FUCKN BLAST!! LEGALLY THEY WILL BE COVERED. I'LL EXPLAIN ON LIVE SHORTLY!! lcsols.ie

Let this picture haunt the government. 🇮🇪🚨🙏🛣 This is the image that will haunt them for years to come: sending the Gardaí in against peaceful protesters to pepper spray and assault them they were simply worried about their livelihoods and feeding their families. 🚜🇮🇪🚨⛽️

To every @gardainfo member & @defenceforces , we know you are getting orders from the government but if you have any decency... stand with your people. All's it takes is for ALL of you to say 'No'. It won't be easy but it will be worth it. Don't turn on your people.

Broken hearted to see this. Looks like some elements of the Irish Army have indeed been deployed by the political class that has treated the Defence Forces so appallingly for decades. A deep shame on all those involved, you are a disgrace. #FuelProtest

@IrishInquiry @AghadaGAA Boycott and shun all Gardai and their families in their communities and include Irish Army members. It worked in the Land War it can work again

Aghada GAA club facilitating Gardai buses this morning in East Cork, providing them with teas and coffees @AghadaGAA

@micheal_olainn You’re an idiot

The fuel protest in Ireland is a right wing led direct and hostile assault on Irish representative democracy and is in favour of a small elite of individuals who want to strong-arm the Government into submission to their narrow self interest.

People shocked that once again the Gardaí are using aggressive force to end protests when aggression has been their modus operandi for decades

You're being taxed so heavily for essentials so that politicians can give billions to foreigners. It's that simple.

For What Was Ireland’s Freedom All For! #ireland #protest
