    Im confused as to why organise a march for today. Why not at the weekend when some are not working? Are they only interested in Dub's

    Today is international human rights day (something to be ashamed about for a whole bunch of other reasons)

    Also, the most recent Water legislation is being debated in the Dáil today, so the march is to coincide with that. No point having a demo at Leinster House on a Saturday when the lads are all at home in their clinics.

    Im talking about the fact that human rights are getting worse around the world and not better, if facts things are going back to the middle ages in a lot of places. Which is why I say reasons other than Irish Water.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 651 ✭✭✭AboutaWeekAgo

    Oh great, here we go.

    Any sign of Eirigi? It isn't a real protest until those lads are involved. :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,906 ✭✭✭Streetwalker


    People gathering already incredible stuff.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,380 ✭✭✭✭Banjo String


    Seems to be a good turn out, I'm outside GPO, looking at one of four.

    One of the many placards I've had a laugh at.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭denhaagenite


    By the way, while you're all up there why don't you ask yourself if you have the ability to show the addicts and homeless some compassion, since some here claim to be so concerned. Spare 5 minutes from the holy show (and the lunch and shopping and bringing your mammy to a show) to maybe talk to someone and ask if they would like a warm meal or drink. If you care so much about society then consider all of it and not just your (soon to be privatised :pac:) bubble.

    Looking at twitter, this one could be as big as the previous protest march.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,798 ✭✭✭✭DrumSteve


    I really wish I was in there today, gotta work though.

    Great to see so many showing up.

    It's less than an hour before it's due to start..... already??

    A picture of the turnout?? Four people? Another great image of truth from protestors. Say something vague and then display an image that barely captures whatever they're trying to convey.

    I'd imagine he meant one of four marches.

    That image of truth works both ways.

    At least try to hide the fact that you're a shill.

    You couldn't make that up really. What a lowlife.

    Waterford Whispers has the best coverage so far

    Waterford Whispers @WhispersNewsLTD · 5m 5 minutes ago

    Reports that there will be a delay as several unions and vested interest groups vie to be seen at the start of the protest #waterprotest


    Waterford Whispers @WhispersNewsLTD · 22m 22 minutes ago

    #Waterprotest fact: 100% of people not protesting are spineless bastards who drink caviar for breakfast, confirm sources

    Ah yes, classic deflection from the anti-side.

    Anyone who doesn't agree with you is, by default, a "shill". Whatever that means.

    True that. That video of the Primetime employee being cornered by absolute scumbags yesterday being a great example. Asking him questions that weren't really questions and that they had no interest in him responding to anyway. The same wans would praise last nights episode of Primetime, all covertly filmed by investigative journalists. For the poster that doesn't really understand what irony is, there you are now.

    How could he have meant four placards, when he said directly underneath that it was one of many he had seen?

    If you are inferring I don't understand what irony is, I'm not sure where you got that from.
