No campaign truck now parked outside Temple st Childrens hospital, blasting out Life is Life by opus. Staff inside can’t hear each other, let alone treat sick children. (Reported by a friend working inside) @broadsheet_ie

It’s Live is Life, as in live music is awesome.
The dopes.
NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH
Is that a breach of the peace, or a public order offense, causing undue fear or intimidation?
120dbs (decibels) at nightime, after 11pm, is over the limit, (which is Stadium Sound) if someone complains to Na Gardaí – Na Gardaí will simply turn up at the offenders van, or home and issue a warning to turn it down to below 80dbs. The utterances from highly amplified sound system vans campaigning aren’t committing an offence. The most they can be charged with, which is highly unlikely following a warning, they comply – is Disorderly Conduct, I’ve never heard of a conviction based on this premise. I know, it appears types who want to amplify their political message are protected by law. But, surely, that’s democracy?
Although outside a kid’s hospital?
(Kids’ Hospital)
+1 for grammar!
life is life and some kids in there are fighting for it with every thing they have got….leave them alone!
Should play life by des’ree instead.
I for one would rather have a piece of toast.
didn’t they get their wrists slapped from ed sheeran for nicking one of his tunes?
Yes, he did. And I’m sure he’s within his rights to (calling Cian to aisle 6 for clarification – bring a mop) if they’re using it without his permission, or if they haven’t paid for the rights to use the song.
Kinda spot on!
Meh, copyright infringement.
Sorry, not today Mildred.
If you are using a track for commercial use, you absolutely must buy it/obtain permission.
seems to be gone now (just checked) so either common sense prevailed (unlikely) or they were chased back into the sewers.
the same vehicle was hanging around one of the side entrances last week, pretty scummy behaviour.
Tone fuppin’ deaf, literally and figuratively.
They’re just nasty disgusting people.
The No side in general?
Of course not, I’m talking about the kind of people who would park a monstrosity like this outside a hospital.
Any excuse for some Dead Kennedys:

People forget about The Dead Kennedys, it’s all about The Dead Ramones – ta for that Listrade. How more appropriate?
Reported by a friend inside. LOL. Wonderful that your so concerned with noise pollution.
LOL indeed.
Well it would not be the 1st time that them and their ilk were abusing children.
They were driving down College Green blasting out the same song earlier too — I’m on the 5th floor and I could not hear myself think until they were gone.
I didn’t know one could actually hear oneself think. Oh well “empty vessels” and all that must apply in your case.
they don’t want people to think for themselves – just let the church do it for you….
Anyone see the Yes canvasser who got spat on by a No voter on Friday? And the Yes stall was kicked over by a No person in Dublin on Saturday, too.
Jesssuuus, go away oura da.
@starina – the last stings of a dying wasp
What a bunch of c-words.
It just looks like the driver pulled down some No posters and stuck them to the side of his van.
Utter scumbags. Many lives both saved and lost there. Imagine how those who lost will feel seeing the sort of imagery that crowd display. Am livid.
I do not get the top photo of the people with placards faces all exposed but woman pushing baby has face obscured by a rectangle
Was it deliberate to protect her identity or was she warming one

Good to see Buzz Sinn Fein’s mates are keeping up the volunteer surveillance skills.
