Any stamps?
Scenes inside the GPO, O’Connell Street, Dublin during a peaceful sit-in on Saturday following an anti water charges rally in the city centre.
The sit-in was organised by supporters of a campaign for the release of water protester Steven Bennett. Mr Bennett is on remand in Clover Hill Prison awaiting trial on July 22 for taking part in what he claims was a peaceful protest in his local community.
Meanwhile , earlier…

Is that Je Suis Derek sitting on the floor
Looks a bit like him – I’m glad hes survived his 12-hour hunger strike.
To use that cliche, why do our brightest and cleverest emigrate and leave these clowns behind ?
Sit in the GPO, morons.
Something something East German women
That bow in the hair…. really….
A sit-in, in the GPO..the world watches in amazement.
Yeah, I’m going to need a bit more information on why exactly Mr Bennett got arrested. More than his claims that it was just for taking part in a peaceful protest in his local community

No way we won’t pay, we want someone else to pay for my stuff.
Seeing as I don’t drive, I can’t wait until payment goes back to the old system that these people say is already working and paying for the water.
Sure we could just double the payments made via car tax, job done. And I pay nothing… unless I drive. YAY !
Do you buy things in shops? If so then you already pay for your water service.
Surely paying for water directly is more equitable than increasing VAT to pay for it?
clowns!
One of the can’t pay won’t pay groups shared a picture of a guy with his banner on holiday in Salou with his family.
Where’s all the pictures of the Greek flags (yes I know they are there) but there was alot more when I passed on Saturday. I thought it was in support of Greece as oppose to water charges, by the number of them.
Unwilling to pay for the water they use, but willing to bankroll an eastern Mediterranean country’s civil servants retiring at 58…
Solicharity for their brethern
Censoring posts?
That’s the cream of society right there.
The turn out was about 5,000, down a bit from the 100,000 high a while back.
Any ideas on why the drop in numbers?
Schools are off, so the stay at home unemployed have to look after the kids?
I think people have made the decision that they’re just not going to pay the bill. Why march? the government just ignore it anyway.
It was very badly promoted. I only saw a poster about it on Friday, and even then that was on a back road in Phibsborough.
Drown ’em all.
Seeing that quote misattributed to Voltaire is triggering.
ayee , it was actually said by NEO-NAZI Kevin Storm

hey look, why spend less on pints, fags and take aways to pay for my water when I can just sit my fat arse in the GPO and play pretend revolutionary. Let’s leave the bills to the mopes.
