I was there. It started off nice and quietly, then a bus carrying local politicians got a bit of stick, but nothing more. Then a bunch of kids from the Blayney end decided to go through the barriers, and the Emyvale road side decided to meet them on the roundabout. We then had a load of schoolkids running round the middle of the roundabout with a few banners, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. {eadar McMahon was then trying to get people to go back behind the barriers, which they were beginning to do until a certain Ceann Comhairle barged onto the scene.
The "trouble" was all due to O'Hanlon deciding to make an impromptu visit, without telling anyone in advance. He then decided to get out of his car and parade round like he owned the place. "Representing his constuency", when he hasn't been seen north of Carrickmacross in the guts of 20 years. Considering this so-called Monaghan man did his best to shut down the hospital during his tenure as Health Minister.There were a handful of pebbles thrown at him, twice, and someone threw a lump of mud, that was it. Lots of shouting and a bit of jostling, not much else.
Barged in cos Pat the Cope was interred in his hotel room....
Pat the Cope was due to unveil the thing. Maybe people want community
and not sell-out, sell-off. The foisting of a corrupt syttem in the form
of a consultative process-a relentless and profitable landgrab?
The roads are the work of profiteers and re-zoners and the really sad thing is
that they really don't give a feck about community needs , just personal enrichment.
The other sad thing is that they try to convince them that a road is more important
than basic health services and paying (mostly) the toll is good for the SUV user,
when it increases asthma, stress and other related illnesses.......
Tis called highway robbery.
From yesterdays demo
Solidarity to the folks back home!
