Protest, Fri 19th, near Crescent S.C.

On Friday last at the roundabout outside the Crescent heading to the bridge near MaryI there was a protest of some kind.

As I passed it was lashing rain. I saw signs saying 'Honk to Show your Support!' so I honked my horn as I was at the roundabout. They were delighted so they were and it made them smile in the downpour of rain.

Now, I don't have a bulls notion of what it was they were protesting about. It must have been something significant though considering the elements and the numbers that were still there.

Anyone know what the protest was about?

Many Thanks,

Probably the water protesters. They are always out in Raheen. I always spot them at the roundabout by the South Court too.

Poor bastards actually need to pay for something for once.

My 5 year old daughter was taken in by the catchy chant and sang along with them. No way, we won't pay. No way, we won't pay.

Well, to say they were nothing short of f#cking delighted would be an understatement. This is exactly why we are here one of them shouted, and it really invigorated the crowd. They shook her hand, my hand and were delighted. Fact is however, my daughter has learning disabilities, and purely just liked the chant. In no way was she advocating a political opinion.

Ops questions has been answered. There are plenty of threads on boards to discuss Irish Water and the protesters, don't think we need a separate 1 for the Limerick forum.
