Shameful of RTE. Obviously, the summer holidays have started already in Montrose.

TBH If its true the people doing it are probabply the same as those who were in the riots few years back..no political agenda,just want to cause havoc

heard it on BBC Radio 4 - turned over to RTE but no word. It'll be funny if not true - funny if true too

Yeah Im sure this will...... Its (if true) an assault on democracy. No matter what party you support its still an assault.

Democracy having achieved its objectve..?

Not sure what you're saying here: that we should bend over backwards and let them have their way until the next general election, even though chances are the ****wits aroudn you will probably vote for more?

Gardaí say there was an earlier attempt by some members of the group to enter through the main gates but they were removed.

The gates have now been locked. No one was arrested.

Why terrorism?

This is an attack on our democracy. If not terrorism then this should be treated as a coup attempt and these savages must be punished. Whatever you think about the current government these people have no regard for democracy and freedom. They will only tolerate their own political beliefs.


EDIT:

Turns out it was nothing. Nothing to see here

"Much Ado About Nothing !"

600+ protestors were outside Dail. Two dozen tried to pass barrier. Gardai pulled batons. 'Storming' is pushing it.

Just SKYNEWS in a FOX News panic !

Just illustrates that the wolves are looking for a whiff of something.

Shows how the speculaters are looking for any sign of weakness in Ireland.

We must stand strong and QUIET!:D

Judgeing be Mary Harney's banning of the head shops, the government itslef has no regard for freedom.

I'm not advoctaing violence here, but it's about time someone made their voice heard.

Corrected you post!

I'd swear - they sound like Fianna Fail members the more I hear!

red herring

I have a feeling it might be sensationalist sky jargon, I doubt the dail was ''stormed'' its the dail, not the bastille.

Sensationalist? Sky News? :eek:

I am shocked and appalled.

Jip

LOL at everyone taking Sky News as a serious media outlet that reports fact !

What I am surprise at though is the amount of retards around here who want to see a building belonging to the Irish people damaged or destroyed in some way or another, how stupid are you ? It's us that will have to pay for any damage to be repaired. It's the idiots inside that are the problem, not the building itself. Idiots.

Anyway, I'm off to storm my ****ter.

Wooooo-hoooooo, just been on rte news now.

UTV News have the story... and they're calling it a "storming"

Spiritoftheseventies

Im quite looking forward to sky's round the clock coverage of this given their tendency for over kill.

noelfirl

Whatever about Sky News overstating it (what's new?) I'm just glad the carrier pigeon made it to Montrose ok.
