    What did you expect to happen ? you folk were told many many times that there would be a large protest in Dublin city on the 10th of December, so you should have known this would happen and took the day off. You put yourself in this position.

    So everyone who works in the city centre should have taken the day off? Good one :rolleyes:

    Ridiculous statement.

    The protest campaign agrees with the Gardai to close certain streets for certain times of the day.

    A bunch of communist scummers take it upon themselves to go outside the parameters of the managed protest & block roads, that were supposed to be open by now.

    However it ain't Eirigi's fault.... its hard working families fault for not submitting to them.

    No, not riduculous, a moronic statement.

    Unfortunately O'Connell street is always going to be a target for de revolution brigade who think what they're doing is any way comparable with 1916.

    Let it go.

    Why? I was watching the live link. I'm sure others would have seen it too. It was a lot of people, by some kind of trailer and a gang of teenage girls walked past all dolled up to the nines. Reminded me of when the Cork hurlers/ footballers would come back to the city in a bus having won an All Ireland. Then the Sligo Says No parade went past, about 30 people, half of whom were carrying Sinn Féin placards.

    Would anyone who was protesting today like to tell the 100,000 Dublin bus commuters what time they will be allowed get home to their families at tonight?
    how would they know. you will get home when you do, so stop complaining. everybody knew they're was a protest today, up to you to amend your plans to get around any potential problems

    Blocking the bridges is pretty low. Especially during rush hour..
    Doesn't do them any favors

    I don't agree at all with forceful blocking of traffic. If the roads are blocked because too many protesters turned up then not much can be done about that, but I'm not for purposely blocking traffic, that is out of order.

    Amend plans how? People have work to go to you know, and some of those workplaces happen to be in the city centre (shock!).

    I look forward to your well-thought out answer.

    So I should have to lose a days wages because you and Eirigi want to wave placards around and might want to block the road?

    What does blocking O'Connoll Bridge even achieve?

    A peaceful and organised protest which aims to show itself as a coherent group with a strong message, works with the Gardai to organise times and routes for the protest to ensure that a message is sent to the Government with the minimal disruption to the rest of the population.

    The actions of these protestors goes to show what a mish-mash of fringe groups this shambles of a protest is.

    A protest which severely disrupts the lives of your fellow citizens is pissing on your own shoes.

    Everyone stuck in traffic tonight is someone who will now never join in any anti-charges protests because their impression of the protestors is of a group of disorganised half-wits and extremists.

    Pat on the back for Paul Murphy and Eirigi.

    They might have been able to plan a different route, had the protestors stuck to the protest areas agreed and prepared to be safe for them by the Gardaí.

    Really sorry for whoever got knocked down, hope there are no serious injuries.

    People don't expect a bunch of fcuking eejits stopping fellow PROTESTERS from getting home. Can you understand that or do you want me to draw a cartoon for you?

    The protest was meant to take place around Dáil Éireann, now there are hundreds of people blocking one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city. How the hell are people supposed to plan for that?

    No movement on O Connelly Street bridge, could be a long night for commuters

    An anti water charge supporter on the news just now, when asked about the disruption caused to commuters because of the O'Connell Bridge blockage, said that there was "no need to apologise" for the inconvenience !

    Is there any live webcam working for O'Connell Bridge?

    How many people are blocking it and why have Gardai not moved them yet?

    If you and others are that good at judging the size of crowds waiting to get home, then the idea that you can be trusted to account for the amount of protesters today is stupendous.

    No, A huge amount of Bus routes now cannot operate, which means people cannot get in and out of the city. This is the height of Christmas shopping so business will loose millions in Dublin City tonight. And by business I mean more than just retail.

    Its not just people stuck in traffic. Again, these protestors fail to see the bigger picture. They see society as "me" and not "us".
