You can go to the builders providers order a few ton of gravel cement ,Blocks .Timber whatever building materials you want they can sell them and a man van deliver them drop them in your garden but you are not then allowed to use them if it is not essential building .Its bollox the Government have lost the People Game Over .

Dr Ryan head of the WHO says Ireland should give away some of our vaccines to poorer countries after we needle all VUNERABLE PEOPLE so if the young and healthy are not vulnerable and waiting on needling then why lock the down .

PROTESTANT POLICING ...There is a large garda presence at St Stephen's Green in Dublin city centre, where hundreds of people have gathered for a protest against Covid-19 restrictions.

Protesters were prevented from gathering in the park, which the Office of Public Works had closed on instructions from An Garda Síochána.

Gardaí used batons as they pushed protesters down Grafton Street

Fireworks, cans, and bollards have been thrown at gardaí.

A number of arrests have been made.

Probably tactical.  If the protestors got into the Green, they could split up into groups and hide in the bushes, up trees, in the middle of the lake and cause havoc for the Gardai to clear them.

Having said that, pushing them down Grafton St doesn't make sense 'cause you're mixing them with the general public.  Probably shuda pushed them into Earlsford Tce, closed it off at both ends and beat the fuk out of them  C:-) 

Kettling, I think, the Brit police call it.

I'm not gonna defend the police but they're caught between the rock and the hard place.  They don't make the law, they only enforce it.  And they've tried to be nice about it with their 4E's.  Sometimes they don't even have laws to enforce, just Govt advice.  The Irish Human Rights people have criticized the Govt for blurring the lines like that between law and 'advice'.

And they're not stopping people leaving the country for medical treatment.  They were just calling bullshit when they saw it.  AFAIK, they didn't arrest or stop anyone.  Gave out a few fines which can be easily challenged with an actual medical receipt from the Spanish dentists.

when people take to the streets to let the government know they are pissed off with the incompetence but the tanaiste thinks  this is what its about WE ARE FUCKED


SUN, 28 FEB, 2021 - 11:59
DANIEL MCCONNELL,  POLITICAL EDITOR
The violence on the streets of Dublin on Saturday was “not a protest, it was a riot” according to Tánaiste Leo Varadkar.

Speaking on Newstalk radio, Mr Varadkar said it was lucky that no one was seriously injured or killed during violent clashes between Gardai and anti-lockdown protestors on Grafton Street.

Some 23 people were arrested after the clashes in the centre of Dublin, which saw three gardaí injured.

“It wasn't a protest, it was a riot, and there's no excuse for using that kind of violence to advance a political cause no matter what that causes,” he said.

“We're just lucky that somebody didn't get seriously injured or killed. And I have to say, I think the gardaí did an amazing job. They took control of the situation really quickly got control the situation very quickly thereafter, and the fact that we saw people being brought to court. That very night was a really good example of very swift and very effective policing,” Mr Varadkar added.

The Tánaiste said that as we are still in a pandemic really there shouldn't be any protests.

“I'm a great believer in free speech and nobody ever wants to ban protests, but gatherings of this nature are not allowed in level five lockdown and wide social distance protests are possible.”
Mr Varadkar said there are all sorts of protest movements, down the years and it isn't unusual for any protest movement to have a sinister fringe, which will have a different agenda.

“That agenda might go beyond the issue at hand, and those people might, might turn to violence or, you know, we saw that many times in recent years in Ireland, unfortunately,” the Tánaiste added.

In the Sunday Times, some protestors in Dublin yesterday were asked why they were protesting or how it was linked to RTÉ, the state broadcaster.

Those quoted outlined a conspiracy theory that involved babies being killed and harvested for “adrenochrome” which is used to keep RTE celebrities “looking young” while the corpses are buried under the new children’s hospital.

The two claimed the government were “basically paedophiles” and that there were videos explaining this on a website known for hosting far-right speakers and conspiracy theories.

Mr Varadkar said such commentary was “bonkers” and similar to the kind of conspiracy theories heard from far-right supporters in the United States.

He said social media platforms should take down or stop messaging which promotes extreme or illegal activity.

“It will be possible to order platforms to take down harmful content if they don't do that already. And anything that incites violence in my view is harmful content. And I think there's a responsibility on some of the social media platforms as well, to do the exact same. But often the stuff isn't hosted on the major platforms that are household names, there are some fringe ones out there as well, that aren't regulated in Ireland, of course,” he said.

Hal dont think the Government got the message at least Leo didnt .Yes there are nutjobs but there were about 5000 people at that .You might notice none of the Papers or TV gave any numbers Not all of them are Nutters .I know mothers who went in yesterday protesting at childrens schools sort of kind of probably maybe opening .I know lads that went in because Leo told them they were back on the tools by 5th of March.Mick from Cork turning up on the Magic Carpet last week telling us all a load of nothing then the Choir of Cunts From Leo to Donnolly and Foley all singing from different hymn books has really annoyed people .Then the Loyalist accusing everybody from Hitler to Mother Theresa for the RIOT that his thugs contributed to .Its Game over the government fucked it up .I read somewhere that when Mick from Cork got the gig he disbanded the Government propoganda unit and brought in his own PR team .Thats when he fucked up Dr Leo is a fucktard  but compared to Mick from Cork Dr Leo was great .

He closed the Park because he thought there might be trouble then he sent out gards in tangtops and Parashoot pants no Crash helmets or shields just fancy summer uniforms to take on a crowd he knew he had enraged .He then says the Garda knew of subversives operating within the crowd but still ignored health and safety of his men .This Riot was Staged on both sides .

Garda reps on Radio Telefish Eireann complaining about lack of manpower (ie no overtime for the lads )and lack of budget (ie no overtime for the lads )and asking rightly why Gards were not on the list of front line workers to get the needle .Drew mustnt of bothered is bollox looking for Priority for his front line staff ,unlike the Lad in the Coombe who just told his staff to fuck off while he injected his own family with left over doses of vaccine .

He probably closed the park for his pansies to make another Nettube video. There were videos of very heavy handed policing on anti-social media but a bloke down the shebeen told me they were the usual far right edits and had little or nothing to do with the actual event. Maybe MMW or SB could share a few?

Man with cigarette objected to drug search

Andrew Phelan
July 01 2013 02:54 PM
A SOLAR energy worker hurled abuse at a garda who asked to search him on suspicion of having drugs because he over-reacted to the request, a court heard.

Jake Merriman (22) had no drugs on him but a garda saw him put a "rolled-up cigarette" into his trouser pocket and asked to search him.

Judge Michael Walsh said he would leave him without convictions if he made a donation to charity.

Merriman, a father-of-one with an address at Meadowlands Avenue, Dun Laoghaire, pleaded guilty to causing a breach of the peace and obstructing a search.

Dublin District Court heard the incident happened at Wellington Quay on March 28 last. Garda Barry Moran said as he approached the defendant he saw him place a substance wrapped in white paper into his pocket.


Merriman attempted to walk away in the direction of the Hapenny Bridge. When he spoke to him, Merriman gave the garda a bus pass.

Garda Moran said he was searching him under the Misuse of Drugs Act, at which the defendant became unco-operative and abusive and had to be restrained and arrested.

Judge Walsh adjourned the case to July 31 for the accused to make a €300 donation to charity.
