Guards telling Irish men to respect the tricolour, even though it wasn’t on the ground—while separate footage shows three of their own colleagues throwing and kicking that same flag.
As Alanis Morissette would say… isn’t it ironic?”
#fuelprotest
I think the present government has destroyed the relationship between the public and the Garda Síochána for good, Having a late lunch in a resturant and four members of the guards walked in three males and a woman. Suddenly the place went quiet, they were seated, Other customers and staff looking at them.
Their order was taken and shortly after the owner or manager went and asked them very politely to leave the premises as they were not welcome, that their presence was upsetting other customers and would they inform their colleagues they are not welcome either, As they walked out the door tail between their legs people clapped and cheered it was surreal.
‼️ 🚨 DAY 5 🚨‼️
Please take a moment to repost 🇮🇪
Brothers and sisters of Ireland 🇮🇪
Five days on the roads.
Five days of a nation holding its ground.
Five days of voices that refuse to be ignored.
But today the tone shifted.
What began as a peaceful gathering
has now been met with force.
We have seen scenes that have shaken people across this country.
Clashes between those standing their ground
and the tyrants sent to remove them.
Videos have surfaced online
people being pepper sprayed,
farmers being pulled from their tractors,
the army being deployed to remove Tractors,
heavy handed actions on peaceful protestors.
And now, there is talk of even greater escalation,
of stronger measures,
of the state stepping in with increased force to clear the roads.
Let us be clear
This is not how a government should respond to its own people.
These are not enemies of the state.
These are workers.
These are farmers.
These are families.
People who built this country
now finding themselves face to face
with the full weight of authority.
And for what
For asking to be heard.
For asking to be able to afford to live.
For standing in protest after years of being pushed to the edge.
The traitors in government , we say this
Every action you take now matters.
Every decision to escalate rather than engage
pushes this country further from resolution
and closer to division.
Force will not solve this.
Silencing people will not solve this.
Dragging them from the roads without listening
will not solve this.
Only leadership will.
Only communication will.
Only respect for the people who put you in power will.
And to the people of Ireland, I say this
Stay strong.
Stay united.
But above all, stay peaceful.
Because the strength of this movement
has always been in its unity and its discipline.
Do not let frustration be turned against you.
Do not let anger be used to discredit your cause.
Stand firm
but stand with dignity.
Because the world is watching now.
Day five has shown us something important
This is no longer just about fuel,
Living costs or policies .
This is about how a government responds
when its people say enough.
You, in government, must now decide
Will you listen
Or will you continue down a path that deepens this divide
Because the people are not going away.
Five days have proven that.
And if anything, they are more determined than ever.
This is Ireland.
And its people will not be pushed aside.
Éire Abú.🇮🇪
