    A Sky news reporter however still actually managed to verify the events in Dublin, give some basic details over to England (besides other news sites reporting same) and RTE couldn't even find a phone I'm guessing?

    "Hey lads, I hear there is a bit of trouble at the Dail!"
    "Really?"
    "Yea, damn glad I picked up the phone for just 30 seconds to tell you - otherwise we'd look like complete slow fools!"
    Again biggins Im guessing RTE as our state broadcaster knew about it fairly quickly. You telling me that McCullough, Dowling, and Davin Power between them did not know about this.
    Again its better to go on air with the facts then to get an exclusive that is factually unsound.

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

    We must stand strong and QUIET!:D

    Agreed. However, I do think the government should issue us all with free KY jelly and ball gags. It's the least they could do under the circumstances.

    To be fair, RTE are reporting it a bit more seriously on their website now. 100 people tried to break through the gates, and there have been a number of injuries.

    I just cant be arsed anymore.

    Its time to relinquish out sovereignty to the EU/UK. Fact is, we are a shower of filthy, feckless Micks who can only get drunk and kiss the Popes pedophile arse.

    We thought we had made it big by selling property to each other but all that happened is that we were raped by international bankers/speculators (and a pile went to BMX/Mercedes). Now we and our children will have to pay off the debt.

    Fúck it, i give up. No more d'internet/papers or TV (maybe TopGear re-runs on Dave) for a year or i will end up under the Shannon.

    Sky obviously jumped the gun on this.
    That's what they do and why they are the "first for breaking news" - fück whether it's true or not, such matters are unimportant, as long as we got there first:rolleyes:

    Where did the extra sixty fans (freudian slip there, that should read protestors) come from. Aonghus said forty protesters.

    Well Sky AND other sites reported some of the details RTE did, only a lot faster.
    Regardless of Sky, I'm sure the others too did ask a few verifying questions before phoning in to their news desk - and they still managed to beat RTE closer to home.
    Strange that but then its RTE for you.

    Or possibly having a better idea of what actually happened RTE decided it was not more important then main news item.

    Sky on the other hand care only about sensationalism.

    Personally I prefer RTE's approach.

    fcuking scum. I was actually going to go in and protest against this protest but everyone i know advised me not to. I'm bloody glad I didn't.

    To anyone applauding these people...you're an absolute fool if you think these people have any of your interests (or the country's) at heart.

    This maybe a once off so we can discount it. But how long more can FF and Greens continue to ignore the will of the people and put off an election.

    Fascist much? Those "****wits" have as much as a right to have a say as you do. They are entitled to vote how they choose.

    "Fascist"..?! Well, makes a change from being branded a liberal, I suppose.

    I never attacked people's entitlement to vote. I attacked their ability to vote in a way that might bring about change (espacially when they moan about lack thereof in the first place).

    People are clearly unhappy. If they then vote the same way and remain unhappy and blame someone else, they are then, pardon mon Francais, ****wits.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    All good points and if RTE decided to downgrade the story, that would be fair.
    Just one thing, RTE news reporter at 9.29 said "news just in..." - not exactly waiting for verification! "...just in..."

    Anyway, moving on...

    When do we get our own long overdue 3 by-elections and childrens referendum?
