This morning.
Truck drivers taking part in a protest in Dublin this morning are blocking both ends of the Tom Clarke Bridge, commonly known as the East Link.
Via RTE News:
Promenade Road at the Port Tunnel is also blocked, as is the roundabout at the 3Arena and the entrance to Dublin Port.
Gardaí are advising commuters to plan for potential traffic disruption due to the protest, but the main roads leading into the city seem to be moving well, with most of the disruption currently around the docklands area.
The protest is being organised by a group which calls itself ‘The People of Ireland Against Fuel Prices’.

Will they be bringing the protest to the Russian embassy cos if Putin hadn’t invaded Ukraine, they wouldn’t be paying as much.
loads of vehicles flying down the motorway towards Dublin yesterday sporting big letter Z’s (mark of support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine) so who knows what’ll pop up.
So that’s where Broadsheet’s Putin boner snot Goblins got up to yesterday…
If I see any of those cars around they are getting a brick through the window. I’d encourage everyone else to join in the fun.
We really don’t encourage violence, this is how wars are started. What is it you don’t get dullard?
Fascists need to be confronted removed from the planet.
“ removed from the planet.”
Are people not capable of change?
No chance of having an aul sit down and figuring out where we agree and disagree and what can be done to move forward in a peaceful respectful manner?
“Fascists need to be confronted removed from the planet.” Tom2 sounding typically fascistic with his highly ironic replies. Eh Tom, will you be gathering these “fascists” in camps and then gassing them, or will it just be machine gunning them down at the road side? You’re a complete fruit cake.
While I don’t advocate wiping them from the planet or anything final-solutionish like that I find the idea that the way to deal with fascists is a sit-down and a chat pretty much the height of complascency. Fascists being notoriously amenable to suspending fascist activities after shaking hands and promising compromise and good will.
No one is the villain of their own story Nigel.
People will justify atrocities in their heads and still think of themselves as good people.
Anybody can eventually be reasoned with. There’s plenty of stories of people who were racists etc who have turned over a new leaf and are ashamed of their past selves.
‘Anybody can eventually be reasoned with.’
Six million dead Jews, Romany, LGBTQ and disabled suggest otherwise.
Are you actually equating people waving flags out of there car windows with Hitler?
And it was closer to 17 million killed
5.7 million of which were Soviet citizens and 3 million Soviet prisoners.
https://www.statista.com/chart/24024/number-of-victims-nazi-regime/
Forgot about them did ya? ;-)
No, I thought if 6 million didn’t illustrate the foolishess of your position, 17 million wouldn’t either. But it scales up and down. There are people you can sit down and have tea with and hash out your differences with, and there are those you can’t. For example, it’s not the job of people who are targets of things like racism to rehabilitate racists, and it’s not reasonable to demand they compromise with them or reach out to them.
I think equating people with their national flag hanging out of their cars with literal Nazis is more foolish.
Do you think they are actual Nazis and want to see Ukraine utterly destroyed, or do you think they have a different opinion and life experience to you? They didn’t actually harm anyone did they?
In fact the only person here advocating violence here in Ireland is Tom2 – with his smashing car windows and “removing people” from the planet.
Maybe we should have coffee to discuss further?
Oh, that. I don’t know them well enough, and despite their ambitions they’re probably not going to raise their profile enough for them to be worth knowing.
You don’t know them well enough? Then why did you equate them to Nazis?
How do you feel about Tom 2’s comments.
Should violence be unleashed upon these people? Do you believe they are Fascists akin to the Nazis?
I didn’t equate them with Nazis I pointed put the ridiculousness of your strategy for dealing with fascists. Whether this lot are fascists is a separate question. I already ruled out violence, though not in self defence, obviously.
So, you ARE saying they are Fascists?
Why did you bring up fascists in one post and allude to them being so and the in another you say you don’t “know them that well”?
You’re not making any sense. Either you believe the flag wavers are fascists who “can’t be dealt with” or you “don’t know them that well”. It makes no sense to hold both views.
And besides, to bring up Hitler and the Nazis as the most extreme example of people who “can’t be reasoned with” just to prove your point – is just ridiculous.*
Of course I was talking about regular people in Ireland who might have a different opinion to you or me.
The label ‘Nazi’ of ‘fascist’ is thrown around here daily with such ease, it would be comical if it wasn’t such a serious accusation.
* But we’ve all been guilty of hyperbole at times…
It’s not that complicated.
Do not sit dpwn for tea and biscuits with fascists.
I don’t know if these guys are fascists.
See? Not that difficult to parse.
‘Difference of opinion’ covers such a vast conceptual space that it’s practically useless. Some opinions are repellant and dangerous. Nazism is merely a well-known and extreme example of opinions that are dangerous and repellant. Most of my life I would not have taken the most extreme example of anything as an exemplar, but we now live in an age of extremes where vaccines are poison and war crimes are dismissed and climate change is a plot by fossil fuel companies to own windmills. Weird, weird extremes.
Well let’s forget about it so. No harm no foul.
Just on what you said there “ but we now live in an age of extremes where vaccines are poison ”
Do you think that we / you personally might be looking for these things? (Myself too) Similar to the QAon and “fascists everywhere” ideas. Do we really live in the age of extremes?
Do the majority of people not care about any of this stuff and are pretty much blissfully unaware of all this fighting online.
The reason I ask is I’ve noticed that as I’ve reconnected with more and more friends post Covid, most of them would have no clue of most of the things we discuss here in a regular basis.
They would have some knowledge of the subjects, but not to the level that most folks here would have and certainly not have entrenched opinions on the subjects, where daily calls of “you’re a bleedin Nazi” would be needed to prove one’s point. ;)
It’s been very refreshing actually.
Anyway, I think we’ve spent the last two years having our attention robbed from us by the media, and it’s not something I really want to continue doing tbh.
Oh finally
Professed ignoramus finally admits he mostly hangs around with other ignoramuses
Acknowledging ones own lack of knowledge on a single subject (in this case Ukraine) and having a reluctance to put forward an uninformed opinion on that particular subject, does not make me an “ignoramus” Mr Mad.
I’d much rather put up my hands and say “I don’t know”, then frantically, constantly and painfully try to prove to others how smart I am.
A lesson that yourself and a few others here could take heed of…
It’s all about one-upmanship and trying to hurt others Micko- quite pathetic really.
Over the past two years I have learned that the topic may change but the same nasty vindictive individuals remain.
a small to medium sized potato discreetly shoved as far as you can get it up the exhaust pipe will do far more damage and you avoid the whole messy row thing.
Good, tom2, it would be a pleasure to see a knuckle-dragging retard like you get sorted by some truckers. Make sure someone uploads the video. Don’t scream too loudly.
Care to meet up for a pint some time?
I bet if you did, you guys would find common ground. ;-)
Internet not the best place to argue. Much easier to see each other’s point when you can read each other’s faces and see expressions. .
Was there really loads?
The video in the daily mail shows three cars.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10707041/Convoy-cars-waving-Russian-flags-marked-Z-symbol-spotted-IRELAND.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline
There was more than that Micko but it wasn’t huge- still single numbers probably. The mail is focusing on the Z symbol as their Russiaphobic point of outrage.
as is correct. The symbol is being openly used to indicate support of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and all the atrocities that have gone with it. Surprised you’ve not adopted it yourself though, I suppose, you’d then be SOZ and we both know that doesn’t fly.
Indeed- how dare I even consider the possibility that there may be two sides to a story when the propaganda from one is completely banned.
You toady choads would do well to heed Desmond Tutu’s words…
‘If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.’
it’s ridiculous to think that you’d consider that there are two sides when every day you’re on here supporting one side and denying the other. Remarkable lack of self-awareness there, Quisling.
“ still single numbers probably.”
So not really a major issue then.
A few Russians going around supporting their country in an unjust war.
Sure when the Americans do it – grand, sure it’s a cliche it’s so prevalent.
(Best middle American accent)
“I support the troops in Iraq and I love the flag of the United States of Murica”
;-)
@ Paul- at no stage did I deny there was two sides to it- ever.
But, after two years of the most blatant propaganda about the pandemic scandal and now being force fed rubbish about that Zelenskyy character- who is as fake and corrupt as they come- being cynical is a pretty normal response, or at least it should be.
This is Ireland, we have no obligations to either side- it’s called neutrality.
@ Gigs- it is just The Mail trying to stir poo. Britain has a lot more interest in Ukraine than appears on the surface.
so in the one post you laud neutrality and then attack Zelenskyy’s character, lovely consistency. If you can watch what’s happening in Ukraine and throw your hands up and claim to have no obligation then you can add ‘amoral’ to the many descriptors you’ve been attributed on Broadsheet. You can’t even admit your own dangerously pro-Russian feelings about the invasion. Pitiful creature.
Don’t let QrazyQ’s double speak, talk of neutrality and whataboutary fool you (I know you’ve not!).
QrazyQ is about as neutral as a brown wire in a plug.
QrazyQ is mad for Putin and loving everything Putin’s done to Ukraine and Ukrainians.
QrazyQ is in league with monstrous evil.
Zelenskyy is as dodgy as they come. I posted an investigation into his finances at the weekend after he offended the Cypriots by allowing his Nazi friends to speak. He has also banned TEN opposition parties.
Do not tell me there is anything decent or honourable about that muppet- he is a chancer of the highest order.
Even if Zelenskyy is corrupt – and he probably is given Ukraine is grift-central – that doesn’t excuse the murder of civilians.
It’s whatabouttery of the highest order.
I’m fairly confident that St Zelenskyy will have skeletons in his closet revealed in years to come (like most leaders), but that does not make what Russia is doing right.
You might be only seeing one side of the news, but it’s pretty demonstrable what Russia is up to. I have no doubt there are murkier truths beneath, but I similarly have no doubt that Russia has led a grand scale invasion of Ukraine and absolutely levelled civic infrastructure with thousands dead from the collateral damage.
You seem to be under the impression that this has some bearing on the invasion by Russia? That this is the ‘other side’ to the story of Putin’s war? Or to the Russian atrocities?
Good sensible comment Ronan.
You clearly have no place here ;-)
Putin could personally shoot up an animal hospital and you’d go digging for dirt on the dead animals, SOQ. Sad. You only get yourself dirty.
@Ronan: Agreed. Though even if those skeletons are of the garden variety, I’m sure some pro-Russian folks would look to skew them as being somehow worse than the genocide Putin has drawn across Europe.
@ Ronan
There is absolutely no doubt but that Zelenskyy is corrupt to the core, that much is a given- but just look at how he present in the western media? I mean, come on- he has a professional PR team ffs.
NOBODY is excusing the murder of civilians, least of all me. But when you have a situation where Azov Nazis are shooting Ukrainian soldiers who want to surrender and deliberately setting up in civilian zones, what do you think is going to happen?
And what about Zelenskyy issuing rifles to civilians and encouraging them to go up against trained experienced Russian army professionals? That was a deliberate attempt to UP the civilian casualties- what else could it be?
We are not seeing even half of one side. Go look at what experts like Col. Doug Macgregor have to say, then compare that to what the BBC / RTE / CNN are feeding you.
And no- outside of Mariupol they are most definitely NOT levelled civic infrastructure- most places still full amenities including communications, which is a lot more than the US usually leave.
Lets see what comes out of this steel mill- A sizeable number of Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered there today I believe.
thanks for shrugging over the deaths of thousands of civilians, really shines on a light on the creature that you are.
And spending more time focusing on the leader of a country having a PR team like that’s a new thing? Dig a bit deeper, SOQ, eventually you’ll be out of earshot.
Paul, if you think the Russians are committing atrocities but the actual, swastika-flying Nazis aren’t, you are a clown who watches too much television, a medium for children & those who want their information spoon-fed to them by evil, corrupted servants of the most warlike nation to afflict humanity.
And where were you shining your sanctimonious light on the 21 000 people were butchered by the Nazis in the east over the past 8 years? You don’t get to claim the moral high ground on a proxy war like this, nobody does.
Austria maybe stepping as a broker now, lets see where that goes. But sure compromise and peace probably doesn’t factor into your mindset now does it?
and those horrible deaths make these ones palatable? Tit for tat? Sad Old Queen.
The only ‘compromise and peace’ anyone wants from this is Russia out of Ukraine and reparations paid so they can begin rebuilding what has been destroyed. We might get a war crimes tribunal out of this, break out the pom-poms and start cheering for the wrong side.
‘ butchered by the Nazis in the east over the past 8 years?’
The ones who started a civil war with arms and money from Putin? When ARE you giong to shine your sanctimonious light on them?
The US have already admitted that they had Bio Labs in Ukraine and that they working with dangerous pathogens. We also know that NATO, especially Britain and Canada, were training the Azov Nazis and, it is looking increasingly likely that there is a bunch of British and French military in that steel factory.
You don’t have to be in any way ‘pro Russian’ to agree that prior to this invasion- Ukraine was far from independent.
No, the conspiracy was that they were making bioweapons. The labs themselves, and biolabs having pathogens in them, were never at issue until the goalposts started miving. You yourself linked the labs to covid, bizarrely.
You don’t have to be pro-Ukrainian to realise that Ukraine needed, needs and if it survives will need, outside support to protect it from Russia.
The US have already admitted that they had Bio Labs in Ukraine and that they working with dangerous pathogens- FACT.
What is your nationality again Nigel?
They never denied it. YOU claimed and spread the story that they were making bioweapons. Also, something to do with covid.
Zero profiteering from Irish Gov.
In all honesty price gouging
The big question is why diesel went up so much
And considering any business in this country chose dorsal to power their businesses as you can claim the VAT back compared to normal petrol shows government screwed every business and small business to boot into the wall
The duty reductions do not make sense if diesel was 10 cent cheaper before the gouging started and now 10 cents more now
It’s time someone highlighted the rip off that’s going on
That’s not going to happen, Dinkum. As you well know, the consumer, who’s also the taxpayer, will always be handed the bill for the lunacy of the vainglorious idiots we vote into positions of power over us.
I saw a pic, last night, of van der Leyen laughing with Zelensky, that woman & her band of retarded, bigoted cronies need to be cleared out & their offices need disinfection. There are no circumstances under which that piece of useless petty nobility could ever win the leadership of Europe by popular mandate, yet, here we are, being led by a total nonentity, who’s never achieved anything in her career beyond gratefully accept favours.
The EU stinks of European Fascism & scumbag cronyism & we are all going to choke on it.
The EU are going to give Zelenskyy ten BILLION for the displaced refugees. How much of that do you think will filter through to them? Very little, if any.
Wait until The carbon taxes are put on
Propane gas is gone through the roof and it’s a by product from processing crude oil into petrol and diesel
So it costs nothing but up it’s gone in price
It’s not the conflict in Ukraine but out and out price gouging and not one government has done anything to stop it
Mind you the more we suffer maybe the more we all get behind NATO to get involved in this war
What an idiotic thing to say, you’re not the most thuggish of the warmongers in here but if you’re suggesting NATO should declare war on Russia, you’re a bigger fool than I ever took you for.
There are no armies in Europe that can resist the Russian military, any NATO war will be the USA v Russia & with China waiting in the wings, staunchly on their side, will signal the end of The West, in a mushroom cloud.
“There are no armies in Europe that can resist the Russian military,”
The Ukrainian farmers now have a better army than the Russians.
Lol
What can you say?
Literally tuppence ha’penny looking down on tuppence!
Me suggesting NATO declares war on Russia?
I honestly think NATO wants a war with Russia
Sort of solves the problem of overpopulation and of course a boom after rebuilding the world
But you are right a war in Europe would result in a mushroom cloud
Prices been rising since 2021 – but dont let facts get in the way of your preconceived narrative
Don’t let the facts get in the way of your lack of any narrative, Mr T. The sanctions haven’t even started to bite & we in Europe are facing the beginning of the end of the road for our civilization, if they continue for very long.
Even without that, the world has turned its back on us, we’re a dying continent ruled by people who literally hate ordinary Europeans & have been planning our genocide for decades.
History will not be kind, in recording our death by suicide.
The lockdown is back.
Exactly, Tom j, the war against Europeans continues by other means.
So the truck drivers are at war are they.
Abolish the Carbon Tax.
Yes but, hmmm, there’s a plan to build a huge umbrella over Ireland with all the Euro notes collected in carbon tax, to protect us from the Global Warming that’s been making our Summers so unbearably hot.
Cretins.
Hoping for lots of disruption.Good to see.
It looks like Ireland is 16th in terms of fuel tax. Hauliers would get part rebates I expect. I suppose the point is that the higher the price, the more tax returned, which is what the protestors are demanding is reduced?
Not sure that is a fair metric mind as basic fuel cost will vary from country to country.
https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10327
The same with rents of course- and no sign government budging on that either.
They get the VAT back but diesel has gone up double that of petrol and that means more tax from government
Is cluster-peeing a thing now?
(Pic 3).
They’re demanding for Eamon Ryan to be removed and petrol to be price locked at €1.10 a litre lol
Very insane stuff, its not really surprising they don’t even have much support from hauliers.
He Needs to get on his bike
He supports a war that’s carbon emissions alone will breach our targets
Nothing green about wars
What war does he support?
You’re obviously a well-padded member of the bourgeoisie, Zaccone. Well, you’ll be helped to lose all that excess baggage soon enough.
Talking of truckers does anyone think yer man with the creosote tan and white teeth flogging cars on Cinch is the bulb off the Yorkshire Ripper ?
At least they had a choice to queue. Unlike the truckers, queuing in Dover while ships left half-full for France. Carry On Brexit. Old blighty’s IT systems not up to the job, and they’re trying to blame P&O – haw hawww.
Unlike France, Ireland, Belgium, Holland, Denmark where there are no such Brexit-associated problems.
https://twitter.com/simonjonesnews/status/1513085815001436161
Heh heh heh. Good old blighty. No wonder exports UK to Europe are still way down, and imports from EU to UK are way up.

Ah, that’s victory, in Dollyland.
What an airhead, you must be American.
Poor, permanently angry KKKCavan, light and oxygen deprived in his dank, airless incel basement. Be sure to stay inside so the MIBs can’t stick you with the booster shot.
Not really good that they fined them to get rid of them though yeah?
Surely the right to protest what you see as unfair or immoral is a inalienable one?
If you’re going to commit assorted legal violations while protesting you’d better be prepared to swallow the fines or defiantly martyr yourself on the legal system.
Much like the fines for the climate change or the BLM idiots protesting..
Yes, much like those brave heroes. Or are you laburoing under the lie – sorry – fantasy that they weren’t arrested and/or fined?
Your right to protest doesn’t give you carte blanche to break laws. Legitimate groups will liaise with Gardai and get assistance when marching to ensure the safety of marchers and streets are kept clear of traffic. This shower, led by some anonymous page on Facebook, rocked up in their tens and expected to be able to park where they wanted because it was a “protest” without sanction. More idiots led by donkeys.
“Legitimate groups will liaise with Gardai ”
Yes, just like the anti lockdown protests did.
Good to see that you recognise them as legitimate now Daisy.
Progress eh? ;P
Good to see you recognise this shower as illegitimate.
I’m not informed enough on the nuances of the situation to have an informed opinion.
I just think people should be able to protest regardless of the legitimacy of their cause endowed on them by the state.
Illegal parking is not protesting.
So if they were on foot and blocked the road with tents etc, would that be ok with you?
They wouldn’t be permitted to do that.
But should they be in your opinion?
For example (and obv a different country) – how did you feel about the CHAZ protest in Seattle where protestors took over several blocks following the death of George Flyod?
Funny how BLM seems to be the goto “but whatabout” when it comes to antis.
Well I think it’s because a lot of people would see it as hypocritical to support SOME people’s right to protest, but not others?
Would you agree it is hypocritical to do so?
Also, just as an aside could you define “anti”? I’ve seen people use that a lot, but I don’t really know what you mean by it.
Is it anti establishment, anti lockdown, anti vaccine or what?
What is is that you think I’m “anti” that deserves that label?
Why not compare it to a similar protest in Ireland? Why do you automatically jump to a different type of protest in a different country for a different reason?
Two of my favourite residents engage in a pie fight.
Watch out Micko she might poke you in the eye with her dildo.
Well to be fair Daisy, if you could answer my questions first, I’ll tell you why I picked that particular protest.
BLM protestors could NOT have had approval for this marches- they were in the middle of restrictions? I remember it being commented on at the time.
There is absolutely no way the guards could have approved such.
That’s a very good point
Do you think that anyone had the right to protest during Covid Daisy?
Instead of more pathetic BLM whataboutery, why not compare today’s failure to the IFA or taxi protests?
Or don’t Duran Duran or Goss Bros tell you what to think about them?
I think why SOQ picked those particular protests is that you were in favour of them and they were NOT legitimate in the eyes of the Guards, as how could they be during Covid restrictions.
A distinction you yourself made above as to whether a protest was justified / legitimate or not.
In Sasana, Covid restrictions notwithstanding, judges have ruled that rights to protest still existed in certain circumstances:
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/11/high-court-denies-met-permission-to-challenge-ruling-on-sarah-everard-vigil
The should have said they identify as farmers and then there’d be no fines and could cause as much disruption as they want, for as long as they want.
Yes, Boratbag, when is the iron fist going to come down on people causing disruption? Of course, if it was to do so on the most troublesome troublemakers, the State would be bashing it’s own head in.
…I feel sorry for anyone who voted for the greens or transferred to them…they were clearly misled if they thought they were voting for change…people like Eamon Ryan use green as a flag of convenience…I have great hope for the Greta generation but the green image has been sullied by opportunists like Ryan…the only legacy they will leave is that they introduced a tax…
I think you’ll find, bisted, that the type of middle-class retards that would vote for the Greens will be very much unbothered by any of this, in their leafy suburbs through which over-priced electric cars pump out nothing but virtue-signals. I don’t so much pity them as detest them, utter bumwipes the lot of them.
A paranoid, basement dwelling incel calling others “retard”?
Pathetic.
So what if we were voting for change? The rest of the country voted for FG/FF and the other parties didn’t want power.
…well Nigel…they won’t be making the same mistake again…trouble is…FFG make up almost half the electorate…they will always have some opportunists ready to make the third leg of the stool…and thats before they have to resort to the gene pool…I really think the shinners have missed their best chance…
I’m just glad that at least some of the responsibility can be laid at FFFG and their voters and other parties that won’t take power. Though that leaves whoever’s left in an unenviable position.
…just once Nigel…take the blinkers off…
Like these truckers did? Eh? Eh?

Neither O’Keeffe nor Dwyer seem to be aware that Dáil Éireann doesn’t resume until Tuesday, 26 April 2022.
