You may recall a post concerning dreamboat egghead Dr Rory Hearne who spoke to Keelin Shanley on Today with Sean O’Rourke last month about the Irish Water protests.

He said he believed the protests emerged because of a ‘cumulative impact of austerity’ and that ‘[the protesters] were holding back on the basis of shock, of collective guilt and a fear, and a sense of powerlessness and now that’s all changed’.

Well.

“I see heart-throb geographer Dr Rory Hearne (NIUM) is doing a Water Protest survey but it’s been very badly advertised. Could you see if BS readers would fill it out as it would be no use without a representative sample.”
