Scenes from today’s protest in Dublin against the imprisonment of five Irish Water protesters for contempt of court earlier this week.
The demonstrators gathered outside the Central Bank on Dame Street before they marched to Mountjoy Prison where several speeches were made – including one by Anti-Austerity Alliance TD Paul Murphy.
Those gathered were told that two jailed protesters – Derek Byrne and Paul Moore – have been refusing food since yesterday.
The Irish Times reported the number of people outside Mountjoy amounted to ‘up to 10,000’, while RTE reported the figure to be ‘over 5,000’.
Meanwhile, in Castlebar, Co. Mayo – where the Fine Gael National Conference is being held – a similar protest took place…

We had our first picket yesterday outside First Place recruitment on Trinity Street. People were very receptive.

PE Power rhymes:
People thronged till Dublin felt
Alive as downtown Delhi
Your heart couldn’t help but swell with pride
(Unless you’re Alan Kelly)Placards, blackguards, taps on hats
Young and old and middle
Oh how your soul would sing for joy
(While D*n*s joined in on the fiddle)Some say 100,000 marched
Chanting for our deliverance
RTE’s stooge saw a thousand or two.
Or should we split the difference?United in a common cause –
No bond so great as unjust laws –
Government trembling, war declared…
Enda Kenny wakes up pale and scared
Reaches for his Times, smiles as he reads –
“Sinn Fein took over.” Exactly what he needs.
