One wrong move by government here, and you will see, at the very least, 250k Irish people descend on the capital in a blink.
They must step down, there is no other way.
I cannot see another way.
We have already heard the warning of using the army against its own people.
We have heard the threat that they will come for the protestors after the protest ends.
We have then seen the attempted character assassinations on the protest leaders.
None of this has worked an iota as every single person in this country, outside of the political paywall and even within, is wide awake to it.
These threats, as well as being pitiful, are now futile.
Where else do they think they are going here?
Government, you have no more moves.
You’re going nowhere but out I am afraid.
It is check mate. The gig is up.
I don’t condone it, I don’t call for it, just calling it as I see it.

@MalachySteenson I think this protest should change from one about fuel prices to one of a crisis of legitimacy of this government.
In my opinion the right of rule, has turned to corruption, mismanagement, and a failure to deliver on basic needs.
This is a failed state, they need to go.
@Mick_O_Keeffe Isn't it shocking that a lawful majority of actual citizens has to collapse the democratic country to be even heard by politicians who are supposed to represent them?
The Irish government has nothing but contempt for the average Irish citizen.
They have lost their mandate to rule. They do not represent us.
We need a peoples assembly to discuss a new form of government.
The system needs a refresh after 100 years of stagnation.
The cost to run Ireland should be a fraction of what it is now.
The government is taking 65% of each litre of diesel in tax.
They are taxing at a rate that people can not afford.
They are putting people out of business.
They must axe carbon tax now.
Teachers do not want to be striking, & would much rather be in class working to support young people’s education – but, having been compelled to take strike action by the inaction of Scot Govt & COSLA on pay, Scotland’s teachers are not going to back down #EISStrike#PayAttention
To all teachers striking tomorrow and Wednesday I know it’s really tough in schools just now and even tougher having to take strike action. We can, and must, keep fighting to secure the future of our profession and the education of our young people. #PayAttention
If the Scottish Government truly valued education, young people and teachers, it would have never have allowed it to get to this.
Solidarity with all the teachers fighting for fairness and for the future of education. #PayAttention
EIS President Andrene Bamford explains why our teachers are out on strike and why we have rejected the latest Scottish Government and COSLA offer of 6%. #PayAttention
Since 2010 the pay of nurses has risen by just £5,400 while MPs have received an eye-watering £20,846 in pay rises.
Who do you think needs a pay rise nurses or our politicians?
#FairPayforNursing
"Up until now, all of the suggetions of compromise have come from the teachers' side. It's way past time for the Scottish Government and COSLA to show what they're going to bring to the table by way of compromise." Andrea Bradley, STV Scotland Tonight, 7 February. #PayAttention
Sunak is a completely out of touch billionaire
Zahawi dodging tax
Johnson running around Ukraine so he’s not questioned about loans
Tomorrow they’ll come together to crush workers with an anti-strike bill
We don’t need change in the Tory Party
We need a change of government
