    yeah and look at the amount of wasters that want someone else to pay for it, at least those in IW are actually working and contributing to some extent...

    I think there are good arguments for privatisation in general. You claim and possibly correctly so, that the private companies are parasites and what the government alternatives are models for efficiency and the pay / pension levels etc are ok, its just a case of which parasite is the best option...
    they're are no arguments for privatization of public services. if private companies want to be involved they can pay to use the infrastructure or build their own to complement ours, but the state option must be protected. given a choice the state and its faults is the better option, but ideally we'd wipe out the cronyism and the rest. but no parracitic private companies for our water unless as i said they are in along with the state company

    Absolute nonsense.

    There was no protest planned for O'Connell St Bridge from 3pm to 730pm or Abbey St.

    Blocking the Luas was a new low. With all your great "ideas" what do you suggest for people who rely on that mode of transport?

    Plan ahead a month or more people knew this was on, what happened on O Connell bridge happened at the last protest as well or do people have collective amnesia as regards that

    Easier to bitch and moan then take 5 minutes to make alternative arrangements

    Even easier to not block transport during an unrelated protest.

    a state owned mess can be changed at a push.

    a privately owned mess will just keep getting sold on to the next highest bidder, while keeping the people behind the process nice and snug and warm.

    Easier to next time drag them into a fleet of vans and lock them away for a night, if nothing else i reckon crime in the city would drop a hefty % while they are otherwise occupied.

    Comments like that really do no favours to the so called protesters. Man jumps in front of Garda van and rightfully gets arrested might be a more appropriate headline
    no . cyclist knocked over and bundled into a van is what happened. not surprising though, considering we have some wild animals hell bent on condoning and supporting brootlizing anti-water protesters

    And all protesters do is bitch and moan without offering any alternative.

    Though are you suggesting people should have bought bikes to get around the protesters on O'Connell street. What nonsense.

    You must be physically incapacitated then not to be able to walk a couple of stops around the protestors and continue on your journey

    Only conclusion I can think of tbh

    No. It is a crime to leave the scene of an accident, but I think if there's an angry mob chasing after you that might be seen as a reasonable excuse. Do you not think so?

    For someone who said earlier you weren't inconvenienced in the slightest you seem hell bent on locking everyone up

    No it's a crime to drive on a footpath occupied with innocent pedestrians, knock one over, and continue to drive with an other on the bonnet, then leave the scene.

    Unacceptable, disgusting, thuggish, behaviour,

    No, I watched my pregnant friend get a taxi because she couldn't use the Luas from the IFSC. But hey that's all fine right?

    I could have told her to walk and watch the protesters do their democratic journey but I think I just called them ****ing cnuts tbh.

    I left D'Olier street, walked to Tara street station and got dart home, many thousands were not so fortunate. Lowlifes blocked the roads and should have been dragged away and if they resisted then yes they should have been locked up. Says more about you than me that you are willing to let a few lowlifes hold a city to ransom at rush hour.

    I don't recall disagreeing with that. My issue is with your insistence on connecting it with the water debate.

    true, hence why any charges for using the infrastructure would be to high for private companies to bother, but we'd have any supposed "competition" nonsense covered but with no interest, the EU could do **** all about it

    How many buses were stopped what exact routes were effected not every single bus in Dublin was stopped by the protestors yesterday surely, if they were then again no contingency plans drawn up no alternate routes planned

    Jaysus Dublins a shambles as regards planning for a protest day if that actually happened, kinda like the leaves stopping the trains in the UK

    :rolleyes:

    would cost to much and mean to much trouble compared to letting it fizel out naturally

    Who says they are innocent? For all you know they had attacked the driver and the driver was attempting to get away, The fact there is very little in the news about this says there is more to it than meets the eye regarding a short video.
