Dopes looking for a cause. They see themselves as heroes and intellectual and believe everything they see on Facebook. I don't like how the government handled all of this but the restrictions are needed as a result unfortunately.

What's the point? If it's a big crowd, itll be impossible to manage social distancing and they will be counter productive. If it's a small crowd itll have no impact.

The people attending this protest would be to stupid to understand the irony of them organising and attending a mass gathering!

Stupid. Lockdown is terrible and our lack of a plan is shameful.

But thousands of people gathering to protest helps how? It just shows that we're irresponsible and a lockdown is needed.

I fail to understand the logic behind "The Cause"

I know there's lots suffering, from abuse at home, depression, suicidal thoughts and what not, and measures should be put in place to help these people.

But this protest isn't about that despite what they say. It's selfish conspiracy theorist in it for themselves.

This country is in shambles. Can someone explain the now famous phrase. LIVING WITH COVID. Sure i thought the whole idea of lockdown and restrictions is to eradicate it. U simply cant live wit it . It kills, ehy would u live with somethin that kills. In my opinion the phrase is ludicrous

These probably don't follow guidelines and push up the numbers, hence more lockdowns.

They even had some American preaching antimask crap at a rally in Dublin last year.

Except the people protesting on Saturday are just grifters

The beauty salon owner in Balbriggan very quick with the gofundme page up to 8k tonight and her fb page full of anti vax and anti mask nonsense ...nothing to do with paying the bikls

Dee wall/ Wallace her main website is a paypal page

Ben Gilroy ....gofundme page

Gemmented O Doherty needs the gobshite trump supporters to help fund her

She's practically bankrupt and can no longer fund legal teams with the amount of cases piling up against her

Tracy O Mahony ...a pretend barrister in Galway raised over 100k to fight the government in court ...hasn't even managed to start the case

Nothing to do with rights and everything to do with making money off foolish people

Protesting against lockdown is like holding a candle vigil against the blitz.... Y'all gona get bombed.

I don't think the current crisis and previous oppressions have anything to do with each other, we're not exactly oppressed currently,all you have to do is stay away from people and wear a mask while collecting 350 euro for doing sweet f.a. It's a far cry from oppression tbh.

We're not oppressed currently ??? Hahahahah ,. I don't collect I'm one of the lucky essentials that can't go anywhere but work . If people feel unsafe,let them stay at home if people want to vaccinate great good for them and if people want to get a haircut or drive from kerry to Dublin for the shopping let them, your health and safety is in your hands .

From my point of view, the protesters should not be allowed to march at all. Who knows how many people could become infected. They should stay at home and suck it up like the rest of the country.

I don't know who organised the protest this Saturday and what's it about. All I know I'm not into conspiracy theories and certainly wouldn't join the ranks of those people pushing them and go out on the street protesting at present.

However how many of us would go on the street to protest if we could over the mismanagement of the covid crisis? I certainly would. Living with covid my arse, living in a radius of 5km would be more accurate. I haven't seen any decisive course of action that would allow 'living with covid' other than hoping for the vaccine fixing it all. And I'm afraid the aftermath of this all might be worse once the bubble we live in at present bursts.

I disagree. Our health and safety is in ALL of our hands. If I feel unsafe and stay at home, it's because case numbers are still high and why are case numbers still high? Because of others doing what they like, disregarding the restrictions. As I said previously, these are typically people who have always done what they like without consideration of others, they take and never give back. Some would say fair play to them, I say they need a good few kicks up the arse with hobnail boots

I agree with you that there are many aspects of government policies that are so weak and infuriating. But I would hazard a guess that these protesters are the same ilk who were protesting last year in the middle of restrictions about how wearing a mask is eroding their civil liberties.

I agree with both of you. We're all sick of the restrictions, the Govt could gave handled it better and I don't blame anyone for wanting their lives back. I don't blame any singletons for meeting these days, people can do what they need to do to cope. However, it is a different type of person that would go out protesting at this stage of the pandemic.

I don't think protests are a good idea full stop full of violence and anti government so they are. Whislt i understand the reasons people do them but really it's very rare they end up peaceful so i laugh when i hear peace. They are full of anger and bitterness in the first place to even go to protest. If some of these protesters were left lead the country we would definitely be in big trouble.

Happy to see the Irish protesting and rioting it's good to know we aren't a bunch of walkovers.. Long may it last.. This government are dragging the vaccination process out.. Absolute disgrace and what's worse is government ministers giving themselves a payrise recently for what exactly being shite at their jobs? they say we will all be vaccinated by June well that's not good enough needs to be done in the next month.. I'd put my house on it that all government ministers have received their vaccines and the rest of us can wait until fucking June no less!

But the protests werent in objection to government raises, or the speed of vaccines, or how the pandemic was mismanaged,or anything reasonable. It was arranged by delusional people, who are easily led by these fantastic ideas of conspiracies and hoaxes, and think all restrictions should be just dropped. And these "protests" are just badly managed disasters that are doing more harm than good.

Dont agree with what went on yesterday but bar one idiot with a firework how bad was if really?? Do people not have a right to protest now in this country?? Maybe if the guards hadnt blocked of Stephen's green and funneled the crowd into grafton street. Their reasons for the protest is what I dont agree with but doesn't mean they cant. The governments handling of this has been atrocious. Even with the protests yesterday. Making out they were riots when there was much worse happening in blanch 2 months ago. How can they condemn one but not the other. Helen Mcentee on radio this morning saying it was far left and what went on was a disgrace. Then drew harris was forced to release a statement saying actually it was far right and she couldn't even acknowledge that. Says its important now not to get caught up in labeling the groups involved yesterday. If the people that protested yesterday were attached to any party or their ideas it's the one in government now. That's what people should be out protesting against. The actual government. It's being played up in the media like what went on in capital hill. And the videos of that one incident from 15 different angles. was there any other incidents recorded? In the day and age we live in with everything caught on camera now. Was it really the shockingly violent riot like protests it's being made out to be? And yes it is a kick in the teeth for our healthcare workers but so is letting flights and passengers in from every fucking country in the world bar south America and sub saharan Africa. Probably 2 direct flights into the country out of all of them. From day one they have made a mess of things. Had to be dragged kicking and screaming into lockdown last March. We all remember the Italians and Cheltenham. That's almost a year ago and we are in a worse position now. Like what the actual fuck. And of course they are going to make a balls of the vaccine rollout and the actual opening back up of the country again. How could any sane person have any bit of confidence in them that they will get this right. Kids are back to school tomorrow with cases still at 750 a day ffs. And no plan in place bar crack a window and dont stand at the gates and have the chats. If there is anything people should be protesting it to get them absolute scumbags out of the dail. Ideally before they give themselves another payrise

The two women on the front page of The Sunday Times today believe that 9000 people went missing last year in Ireland thats not reported

They also think that babies are being murdered for their "Adrenochrome " which is injected into RTE stars to keep them looking young...the bodies ate buried in the new childrens hospital and that the government are paedophiles

These people are fuckin loopy and dangerous and should be called out everytime

"Dont agree with what went on yesterday but bar one idiot with a firework how bad was if really?? Do people not have a right to protest now in this country?? Maybe if the guards hadnt blocked of Stephen's green and funneled the crowd into grafton street. Their reasons for the protest is what I dont agree with but doesn't mean they cant. The governments handling of this has been atrocious. Even with the protests yesterday. Making out they were riots when there was much worse happening in blanch 2 months ago. How can they condemn one but not the other. Helen Mcentee on radio this morning saying it was far left and what went on was a disgrace. Then drew harris was forced to release a statement saying actually it was far right and she couldn't even acknowledge that. Says its important now not to get caught up in labeling the groups involved yesterday. If the people that protested yesterday were attached to any party or their ideas it's the one in government now. That's what people should be out protesting against. The actual government. It's being played up in the media like what went on in capital hill. And the videos of that one incident from 15 different angles. was there any other incidents recorded? In the day and age we live in with everything caught on camera now. Was it really the shockingly violent riot like protests it's being made out to be? And yes it is a kick in the teeth for our healthcare workers but so is letting flights and passengers in from every fucking country in the world bar south America and sub saharan Africa.

"Happy to see the Irish protesting and rioting it's good to know we aren't a bunch of walkovers.. Long may it last.. This government are dragging the vaccination process out.. Absolute disgrace and what's worse is government ministers giving themselves a payrise recently for what exactly being shite at their jobs? they say we will all be vaccinated by June well that's not good enough needs to be done in the next month.. I'd put my house on it that all government ministers have received their vaccines and the rest of us can wait until fucking June no less!

But that wasnt a protest. It was imbeciles and scumbags using it as an excuse to cause havoc. Why in gods name would it be good to see riots?

To show that we as a people are not push overs anyway I wouldn't call that a riot.. It was quite tame in comparison to what happened in Holland a few weeks ago.. Cars were set on fire.. Shops looted now that was a riot.. Yesterday was a bit of argy bargy

You did call it a riot in your post before.

BTW if you support this kind of thing you should know who organised it. Far right bigots using the feelings of others over this lockdown to gain support. Fascists who want to bring this country back into the 50s.

I can back track it wasn't really a riot. Bit of argy bargy.. Who cares who they are right wing or left wing there is a lot of frustration and anger in the country at the moment lockdown after lockdown the inaction of the government.. The vaccination process at a snails pace.. Ridiculous really how people could be horrified at yesterday's scenes.. Wake up smell the coffee.. We are being fed rubbish the government doesn't care.. It was going to boil over at some stage.. Glad it did.. Next week's protest will be worse.. "

People protesting the lockdown which is more then likely going to prolong it. Irony doesn't begin to describe it.

I bet the same people slamming those for protesting against lockdown restrictions yesterday (not protesting against a virus as some idiot put above) were all in favour of george floyd and blm protests a few months ago.

The hypocrisy is absolutely amazing.

Your country is being destroyed by inept politicians and welcomed by most of the people.

Noone is protesting against a bloody virus, we're all aware it is there.

These archaic restrictions that are causing untold damage to people's mental health not to mention the economy for deacdes to come are what is being protested against.

And and the language used from some of ye people towards these protestors in unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable, up on yer high horses. Bet a lot of ye are doctors making lots and lots of money from these lockdowns.

To all those backing the restrictions, turn off rte and gokgle sweden there for the craic 12,000 people dead, double irelands population which hadls nearly 4500 dead and not 1 lockdown while we've had three.

In any mass of people 80% are sheep who will blindly follow the crowd, this thread seems to be a microcosm of ireland.

Did i refer to any of those people, none of those stand for me, dont presume that they stand for the thousands of people protesting yesterday. you seem to be nothing but a bully.

Everything that critices the government is deemed far right, anything at all. People have no choice but to go to protests organised by these people, who else is organising them. What other option do ordinary people have. If bono organised a pritest against lockdowns and people went would that satisfy you.

Have the 3 lockdowns worked have they?

Lol whats this highly complex idea then, please explain my good man. That theres a virus out there that kills mostly old and highly vulnerable people is it. That 99.6% of people that get it survive it with no lasting problems

That locking people up in their houses for a year is suppressing the virus however there are still 50 people dying every day for the last month.

However for your benefit, 100,000 people in care homes in sweden, 32000 in norway. As i said above 70% of swedens deaths in care homes.

You're aswell comparing ireland to sweden as sweden to norway

Have the 3 lockdowns worked have they?

Again sweden pop 10m, no lockdowns 12000 dead

Ireland pop 5m, 3 lockdowns, 4500 dead.

I dont understand, are you trying to prove that lockdowns dont work, by providing figures that prove we have less deaths per capita than a country that had hadnt any lockdowns?

Well over 50% of all our deaths in the past year were in the last couple of months since lifted restrictions at christmas.

I know you don't understand. Switch on rte there for yourself and get your fill like a good lad.

My point if youd even bother to listen is that lockdowns do not work. Sweden has about the same avg deaths per capita as most nations that have imposed heavy lockdowns but you won't listen, you haven't for a year. Doctor are ya?

I am a doctor actually. Lockdowns do work, and I havent watched RTE in since The Den after school.

Oh im sure you are, tell us again is it 140 euro per covid test that you're making plus what another 100 for every vaccine you deliver. Bought that 3rd house yet while the rest of us are left without jobs

Seriously can't you debate your thoughts and opinions without personally attacking someone you know nothing about all because his is disagreeing with you.. what discussing behaviour from a grown man..

You a doctor aswell?

To clarify though, not meant as a personal attack. I think this about most irish doctors at this stage. Lots of ye getting rich"

Well what's wrong with doctors becoming wealthy? If someone spends 10 years of their life in third level education and then several more as an intensively grueling intern, surely they deserve proper remuneration?

However in reality, doctors the past year are still on the same salary, but just longer and more physically/mentally grueling hours. I dont know where you heard they are getting rich. Sounds like you are just blindely believing facebook videos.

"I bet the same people slamming those for protesting against lockdown restrictions yesterday (not protesting against a virus as some idiot put above) were all in favour of george floyd and blm protests a few months ago.

The hypocrisy is absolutely amazing.

Your country is being destroyed by inept politicians and welcomed by most of the people.

Noone is protesting against a bloody virus, we're all aware it is there.

These archaic restrictions that are causing untold damage to people's mental health not to mention the economy for deacdes to come are what is being protested against.

And and the language used from some of ye people towards these protestors in unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable, up on yer high horses. Bet a lot of ye are doctors making lots and lots of money from these lockdowns.

To all those backing the restrictions, turn off rte and gokgle sweden there for the craic 12,000 people dead, double irelands population which hadls nearly 4500 dead and not 1 lockdown while we've had three.

In any mass of people 80% are sheep who will blindly follow the crowd, this thread seems to be a microcosm of ireland.

Clowns

Compare Swedens death total to their neighbours in Norway etc. Big difference. Their economy is as bad as the rest of the world and their government has been contemplating lockdowns since all this began. I love when people throw Swedens reaction to covid as an argument to lockdowns.

Compare our dpc to norway, big difference and we're the same size population, norway has 15 people per sq km and we have 72, yet we have 8 times more deaths. How does one explain that.

Noone is saying there is no virus, im certainly not but the lockdowns in this country do not work, especially with borders left open like, ports and airports open.

Over 70% of swedens deaths were in care homes, they fucked up there just like we have.

I said compare Norway to Sweden not ireland.

"

So norway with lockdowns totalled 662 deaths while Sweden without lockdowns are at 12,000. Hmmm lockdowns don't work at all

I'll leave it there as you're obviously angry at having to give one year of your 35 years to help protect people who are at extreme risk of dying from the virus. Happy fabbing.

Nothing wrong with doctors getting rich and well renumerated as they do in the usual scheme of things. Getting rich whilst a good percentage of the population/anyone in private business is dying a dearth.. Something hugely wrong.

One thing I know for certain about all of this is , that putting labels on people , on the dole scrounger, conspiracy nut, far right , far left, anti masker, anti vaccine , militant,  extremist,  arse licker, sheep. The  list goes on and on . And it is dividing the nation. As it has done in multiple countries.  Its making people angry and bitter and spiteful when it gets too much.  Everyone wishes things were different but they aren't.

"Happy to see the Irish protesting and rioting it's good to know we aren't a bunch of walkovers.. Long may it last.. This government are dragging the vaccination process out.. Absolute disgrace and what's worse is government ministers giving themselves a payrise recently for what exactly being shite at their jobs? they say we will all be vaccinated by June well that's not good enough needs to be done in the next month.. I'd put my house on it that all government ministers have received their vaccines and the rest of us can wait until fucking June no less! "

Is this one of your conspiracy theories, so by admission your happy to see criminals rioting, firing weapons at innocent people. If you were there I hope you got fined or arrested.

The protest was ment to be against the lock down,, the third one nd still no new ideas,,, a few gobshite pushed by fools like Ben nd dee nd Gemma decided to hijack it,, the major of Dublin today even said that the media were using very clever editing to make it look a lot worse than it was,,, yes it was wrong to throw the firework yes one firework but that was no riot,,, look up riots up north, now they where riots,,,

Also remember one thing about the people that have imposed this lock down on us, the third one nd still no new ideas,,, them people are the same people that are sending all the cervical cancer women to their early nd untimely graves now i don't support the attack on the Garda but i most certainly don't trust or support Dr Tony nd his death squad,,,

So very easy to edit footage of the firework lad threatening to smash a cops head in or to edit the footage of them screaming the vaccine up your arse. BTW the national party organised it via proxy. You know the same national party that showed up to the Dáil last year with pictures of nooses because they didn't agree with an openly homosexual male as the minster for children. One member of the national party who helped organise it was seen last summer hitting a woman on the ground on O'Connell Street because she dared to disagree with him.

People can say it was against what the lockdown is doing to businesses all day long but that was just what the organisers wanted people to think. They wanted a riot and the same scum are organising another for St. Patrick's day on O'Connell street.

What's that old saying? Lie down with dogs and you get fleas. Couldn't be more apt.

Sorry to hear youve lost 3 people but so have I and none of them from covid.

3 suicides all in there 20s and early 30s and almost everyone I talk to has had similar thoughts over the last couple months.

While i understand covid is dangerous we also need to understand that rolling lockdowns with no plan of action and no improvement to our healthcare system is just as dangerous.

While i dont agree with these protests I do understand the frustration that is causing them.

I also know a few people that attended and to be honest I can't blame them. They have lost children to this lockdown, not to covid.

What would you do if you were in there shoes??

We need more u understanding and less hatred towards people we dont even know or understand.

We also need some real leadership and a clear path on how we're going to deal with this mess because without it we're all fucked

The lot of them are mostly anti-government with no real interest in the topic of the protest.

I wonder how many of them are anti-government when they are collecting their dole and benefits every week.? Let’s face it, a few scumbags in tracksuits are not going to be depressed about working from home not been able to get their haircut, or having to home school the kids.
