The *new* clip.
From Tuesday’s Tonight With Vincent Browne.
Feel the power, the passion, the conviction in Enda’s and Eamon’s speeches from the Senior Citizen’s Protest in 2008.

Patrick Touher, collapses while protesting with fellow senior citizens outside Leinster House this afternoon.
From Photocall Ireland:
According to [photographer] Laura [Hutton], Patrick was helped up. They sat him down, he was conscious, and an ambulance came for him. We don’t know if he got in or if they just tended to him there. Though according to people who were at the protest, despite it being a big event for old age pensioners, there were absolutely no medics on site…
Patrick is the author of The Fear of The Collar about his childhood in Artane Industrial School.

Update: Patrick was back on his feet after being tended to by ambulance staff.
Thousands of pensioners protest outside Leinster House, Kildare Street, Dublin this afternoon over cuts to medical cards and phone allowances. It has been five years pensioners forced the FF/Green coalition to scrap means tests for medical cards.
