The right to peaceful assembly and protest is a basic freedom in any society except a totalitarian /dictatorship.
If Bertie's Farmers were coming to town in their tractors to look for more goodies etc,the red carpet would be laid along the liffey for them.Their sons in the police force would welcome them with open arms.
When city folk look for the same rights they will likely be arrested at best ,and baton charged at worst.!
If Bertie was really the affable 'pint in the pub'Dub ,his spin doctors portray-his common sense might ask of itself-why dont we talk to these protesters and arrange a march route,and a location near Farmleigh(even a fenced off one)where people can peacefully assemble and demonstrate their distaste for the New E.E.U.
Instead there is attempted repression,which will result in certain confrontation.The Phoenix Park walls are about 5 miles in lenght.It will be impossible to prevent access from determined individuals.
This is another example of how far out of touch with the people of Dublin this government is.Roll on next June so I can have my small say in the polling booth without(yet!)armed guards and militia blocking my entry.One small step for me-one large step for change!
My vote is just a drop in the ocean-but good citizens of Dublin,remember the ocean is made up of many such drops.
