student protest O'Connell Street Dublin

[MrGypsyLovelyFace]

Complaining over bloody nothing, I'm actually fed up with the greedy bastards in this country, complaining about getting money for doing nothing all day, when countries like America don't even have a Social Welfare system, giving out about paying €3,000 a year was it? For College fees, when there are not only grant schemes and a Back to Education program, but also we're paying that little when the UK has fees up to £30,000 and the US up to $150,000. Ireland, shut the fuck up, life is great.

@RomanianCynical No thanks. I might bump into Vlad the Impaler.

I'm an Englishman who visited Dublin recently and I spent quite a lot of time walking along O'Connell Street, eating at the Burger King restaurants, browsing through books at Easons book store, and buying a couple of smart phones at the Vodafone store on Henry Street, off O'Connell Street. I also spent a lot of time in Dunne's supermarket on Henry Street. For a nation that is 85 billion euros in debt, I didn't see any depressed people on the streets and everyone seemed happy. Strange country.

my pals and i walked past the crowd where they were closed off. 10 thousands ppl were to be there.

[Janvierireland]

Most of you protesting can afford to pay fees because you come from middle class homes and have paid fees for second level education.Add to that education is encouraged by your well heeled parents but not by mine.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

fucking mad.

[stueyg3]

this was a pathetic protest noting was acheived here the poor fucks at the front got beth by the police and to add salt to the wounds these students took this as a joke this is a serious matter there should of been anger in the crowd not laugter!! how dare the police come out with riot gear to irish citizens and why didn the students fight back what a joke!! the country is fucked if these are the people fighting for it!

[SWiFTzZ1]

@stueyg3 So you wanted half of them to get arrested ?...that helps

[stueyg3]

@SWiFTzZ1 listen mate uv just underminded ur own argument the police have no right to come out and block u from marchin they work for the tax payer but yet they came out all bats swingin so be it if some get arrested ya have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet.... ur classic sheep mate!!!

[irishxxkelt]

@stueyg3 Do you know what pain the batons can inflict?

[stueyg3]

@irishxxkelt i do indeed and iv been hit wth worse, played hurling for years and been hit with harder things than sticks i can tell ya,but listen they have no right to hit people if they have the right to hit us then we shud fight back, and if some people are afraid thats cool stand back and support the ones who are not afraid to get hit!

[irishxxkelt]

@stueyg3 Try it and I can assure you you would have broken limbs with one belt of the Asp Baton.....................

[stueyg3]

@irishxxkelt mate were not made of glass we dont break to easy! iv had lots of my bones broken no big deal after its done yeah painfull at the time but ur missing the point here the gards have no right to touch anybody these people were protesting its there right to do that but the goverment using the gards showed them and anyone with half a brain that people dont have rights or fredom in this country and its about to get worse!

[WhiteScion]

All we need now is Rage Against The Machine playing, and let there be MAYHEM!!

[otori555]

Fuck you irishbollix, you have no idea what you're talking about, you ignorant fool. I dont kbow how old you are, but with fees tgere will ve MORE emmigration to canada or austrailia or other such places, and we will end up the way germany are headed - a country without youth, doomed to die in a nursing home with no nurses or doctors. Think about that.

[adamafranklin]

I did'nt knew that there are so many people in Ireland. 

[irishbollix]

ok, cocksuckers, you're looking for me to pay for your university education so that you'll earn big bucks in OZ, USA, Canada etc. Well, fuck you, you'll just have to go to england to where you'll be treated as a paddy or bridget mick bastard. you'll work on building sites and clean shit of the arses of old age brits

[stepheneamonn]

Yay! In 3:22 im the guy in the yellow wearing a black hat and fist pumping!

[jcclarko]

.stop bitching about fees and get a part time job like normal students.guy in the blue jumper TWAT:P

[Jack63815]

suck my balls u cunt

[MarkyMarkDCU]

Fair play to Ogra Shinn Fein and Labour. They both had loads of people there. Can't believe the 32CSM were there though!!!!!!!

[canyonerodriver]

yep we were:)

[Thuglordrpt]

we'll of course republicans had to be there, why where you so shocked??? i guess ye were standing in for the DUP????? hahaha

[MarkyMarkDCU]

Because usually they only have one track minds. Cop on.

[Thuglordrpt]

i dident here ye complaining about it when ye where republicans. I think its an utter disgrace that SF are protesting against the RIR parade, talk about hypocrites! one minute yere shaking there hands and shareing jokes, the next minute yere behind there back sqeuling about how bad they are, its the most funny thing since yere totaly pointless ''green postbox campaign' which i nearly pissed by pants watching lol no wander so many of ye are trying to join us.

[canyonerodriver]

i dont think thats a fair statement man. we have a dedicated membership and were focused on soveriegnity, sinn fein are all over the place in the south. shell to sea, fees, health cutbacks.theyll jump on anything that might get a vote. were not looking for votes were there to help the students

[leeonalewis]

Brian Cowen has announced that he is changing our emblem from a shamrock to a condom as it accurately reflects the government's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.

[canyonerodriver]

mark im in ucd and trust me ogra sinn fein do precious little but show up for protests which are lets face it essentially publicity opportunities. me and other memebers of the 32s have been working day to day for months helping the campaign.a lot more so than ogra sinn fein

[MarkyMarkDCU]

Yes and you also have retards like thuglord whatever who do nothing but sit behind computer screens and criticize people.

You'd have a better standing within Irish republicanism if you got rid of imbeciles like him

[canyonerodriver]

i wont get into a personal debate suffice to say sinn fein are in no position to criticise quality of membership

[OgraShinnFein]

Well we have plenty of very good people and a fair few eejits, as most parties do. Unfortunately these smaller republican groups are more concerned with SF than their supposed enemy which is just ridiculous

[canyonerodriver]

our supposed enemy. so raymond maccartney calling for the provos to help the brits fight the dissidents we should just ignore that type of thing?

[cdenver]

Good video, wow look at the amount of people there! Did anyone see BatMan in the video?! LOL!

This looks like a successful protest, well done lads!

[ceistiuchan]

great video- there are some pictures on indymedia Ireland

[marrow777]

Well done and praise to the retired who also protested yesterday and forced the govt to do a Uturn!!

[abi19589]

Good times! :)
