The Greens are having it both ways, aren't they? In the government and, supposedly, against the government. Hypocrites, I would humbly suggest.
Well done to those who turned up in shite weather.
A few of more images of the support demonstration in Dublin today.

Protesters blockade Shell refinery
Shell to Sea campaigners have set up a blockade and halted traffic on the road between Belmullet and Ballycastle in Co Mayo.
Two men have chained themselves to a van on the road leading to the proposed gas refinery site at Bellanaboy.
Trucks working on the site have been unable to gain access to it since shortly after 9am. The fire brigade from Bellmullet has been called to try and untie the men.
The campaigners want Shell to refine gas from the Corrib gas field at sea rather than at Bellanaboy.
"It is vital for the preservation of Erris and the protection of its people that all work on this destructive and exploitative project be stopped immediately. Despite a contemptible strategy by the authorities that either ignores or maliciously persecutes those opposing the project, residents remain resolute in their opposition," said spokesperson John Monaghan
The Cork branch of the Shell to Sea campaign has travelled to Mayo today to "show solidarity" for the three Mayo protesters who were convicted of assault on gardaí.
Cork Shell to Sea spokesman Ray Hanrahan said: "While the State considers the assault of gardaí a serious criminal offence, neither the government nor the judiciary have any qualms about the violence, intimidation and lawless brutality they've unleashed upon the brave people of north-west Mayo."
The Dublin branch of Shell to Sea are holding a protest outside the Department of Justice this afternoon and will hold a rally on O'Connell Street to raise public awareness of the campaign.

SHELL - Stealing €50 Billion of our Natural Resources
The judge that passed the outragious jail sentences is Judge Mary Devins, wife of Sligo TD and now Junior Minister Jimmy Devins. She is a political appointment to the courts and was clearly acting under instructions from Bertie Ahern. We should stop kidding ourselves about Ahern and realise we have a scheming two bit politician on our hands whose every move is in the interests of the golden circle. You are not going to get justice here because Shell have bought and paid for the lot of these lackeys long ago.
Greens should not be welcome on these protests. They are in Government. The Government have got the power to nationalise Shell and throw them out of Ireland. Greens will not do this. The Greens won't be even getting minor reforms such as refining at sea. Greens have sold out and should not be welcome. If you are a Green Party member and you support the camapign then leave that Party and stop supporting hospital, co-location, M3 distruction, nuclear power, privatising power production, FF senators, etc, etc.
One law for us and another for them: notice the illegally parked Traffic Corps vehicle in the first and second picture.
