discover Ireland

[seanybiker]

fucking crusties should all be shot.

[christosuk77]

Doesn't matter what country you live in, all cops are bad :(

[DOUGLASSIRR]

You are a pretentious prick!

[mcgrathc123]

@DOUGLASSIRR agreed

[iheartfundoyou]

we all hate the PIGS

[Eoghansy]

@uarecheap, u obviously didn't even read what was written by IrishLoolaa. How has the Gardai upholding the laws of Ireland make them traitors. Before u go off on another complete moronic rant think about it. For your information it's spelt MORON, Moran is a surname. That's not a typo that jst proves

[Dodomctoto]

what would be do without them ?

A fucking lot..

[TOPCAT31285]

why would you waste 21 secinds of your life looking at these two pricks

[VivaLaPol]

Garda pricks. Filthy fat pigs.

[rabbithog]

whats the fecking problem anyway, mayo should be knocked completely anyways, mayo is a thorn in irelands side

[zen260]

why dont u go fuck yourself u brit scum,,,

[rabbithog]

feck off you tinker

[magemaatikko]

What's so special about Ireland? Garda?

[jkwasere]

Just let them build it.. :P

[rabbithog]

what is so special about mayo anyway, it should be taken off the map, even the irish hate mayo

[jkwasere]

hah,

[tmwceltic]

And your Mother hates you, she wishes she was raped by another man ya fuckin prick.

[Ludawg101]

There is no law.... it's simply because your a waster of both time and resources

[EamonnKee]

This pipeline is attracting all sorts of nuts. It will be properly designed to the highest standard, underground, away from houses, the ground will be reinstated and look on the bright side, no houses will be built on it so it will protect the environment. The garda presence is costing a fortune and most of the objectors are career protestors, hippy types and IRA heads with nothing better to do, or others who didn't get enough of shell's money, or have been taken in by the scaremongers.

[DrFoxtopus]

A beautiful piece of PR by Eamon there. I normally don't reply anymore to these video's, but that was amazing. Carrying every amusing piece of Marketing claptrap known to man. Deftly ignoring the compulsive purchase orders, which is basically state theft of property. the total ignorance concerning the pipeline pressure rates and proximity to housing (a thin sheet of earth is nothing when confronted with 900 bar of flaming gas). Also the total ignorance of the cold venting of raw gas. smooth.

[EamonnKee]

Marketing claptrap? Not at all - scaremongering clap trap is your area. Eg. Compulsory purchase is hardly theft! Its purchase! The pipeline is an extraordinary piece of engineering we should be proud of. It is designed never to be "flaming". Your doctorate is obviously not in pipeline design haha! The pipeline will be the most advanced &safe design in the world , & will b hidden underground. Lovely. Shame it attracts hippy scaremongering nutjobs, wasting taxpayers money in a time of recession.

[malachy1847]

@DrFoxtopus The gas pressure would be at a pressure of..90 -110 Bar [9,000- 11'00Kpa] ..[ 1 Bar =14.7 Psi .].. you can do the maths for conversion into an Imperial Measurement if you likw......and the Raw gas condensate would be...0.5 Barrels Per million standard cubic feet...[0.5bbls/mmscf]... As for the gas it would only be 'flamed 'or flared as part of a production process...

[EamonOregan]

@EamonnKee Yes that makes alot of sense "no houses will be built on it so it will protect the environment" if you went to school you would realise the environment is not just houses en·vi·ron·ment (n-vrn-mnt, -vrn-)

n.

1. The circumstances or conditions that surround one; surroundings.

2. The totality of circumstances surrounding an organism or group of organisms

[EamonnKee]

@EamonOregan thanks for the definition of environment. I think you missed my point though :( The gas pipeline will be a work of engineering excellence. You should study it. The scaremongerers are just muddying the waters and wasting taxpayers money now for no good reason.

[uarecheap]

@EamonnKee It's bigger than that, its our government turing their back on concerned Irish citizens and instead sidding with the big guys. They did it with the bank bail outs and their property development friends.

[EamonnKee]

@uarecheap At least the gas will earn the state some money. Help us bale the backstabbing banks out. :( . The Pipeline is designed expertly and will be the one of the best in the world. The govt. didn't turn its back in the public planning process which has gone on for years -the route has been changed a few times to please people. Point taken re bail outs & cosy deals. Did our moron govt. get us the best deal. Did someone get a nice backhander? The pipe will be done properly was the deal.

[uarecheap]

@EamonnKee Money that's going into Bankers hands. If the Gov had a bit of initiative they could have sorted this out with out cowering to a corporation. They have no balls. They should of said no to shell and agree to lease out the gas to another company they came up with a different strategy and be under constant surveillance of the Government. Its our gas we should be in charge. Multi nationals only care about profits, believe me they try and do things the bare minimum 2 profit and FF pricks.

[smokeysam666]

@EamonnKee u my friend ar wat we call an ass.

[EamonnKee]

@smokeysam666 All I said was that gas pipeline is designed expertly to be perhaps the best in the world, and that the objectors to it are a scaremongering fanatics who won't listen to reason and who are wasting taxpayers money. Check the design against what the protesters a scaremongering about. If you believe them blindly then you are the ass.

[elswine1978]

keep up the good work

[irishgeal1]

great to see garda following there tan masters

[Kevinoboyl]

That boy on the right looks like he just cant wait to get to SPAR. 'Big breakfast roll,move along now!'

[hummer0010]

so you think that the protetor whoo got thrown into a ditch just walked up and said hello to the garda, wrong he obviously verbally abused the garda so he threw him into the ditch

[DrFoxtopus]

Wrong video.

[WellPlacedSkidMark]

@hummer0010 So a verbal comment warrents a physical response, I am glad your not my dad or mom or sister or wife.

Try going out side breathing deeply, check the mirror realise your a mouth breathing twat who gets a hard-on for jerry springer.

Your comment "verbally abused" the common sense of most of society, can we come and throw you in a ditch now?.

Playground is that way << you will meet many of your garda friends their crying because their ball was kicked away.

[hummer0010]

1. Gardai don't beat people for crimes!

2. The guy obviously did something, because otherwise the Gardai wouldn't be standing there over the door

3. Shell did not employ the Gardai for protection, protestors are violent, Garda have to police the area

[Seano71]

they are scumbags, they get off on being bully boys. A bit of power for the thick, cultie cunts

[TorquenaGeilt]

Not co-operating with gardaí is against the law also, fucktard. These men are being verbally abused and physically assaulted by you people regularly, not to mention your complete waste of their time. I think the Gardaí Síochána should be commended for not losing their cool and killing you all.

[DRJHMUFC]

You obviously put the voice in after the video, your foolin no one, twat !

[justaskthem]

Can`t wait for journalists report on the property which is owned by serving & retired Gardai in Ireland.Interesting.

[seanbeag1]

Are they not alowed own property?

[Bobbz08]

Actually most garda do know what they can and cant do....but most of the time they decide to fuck the law and beat the shit out of ppl and do what they want

[seanbeag1]

Boo hoo. If they beat you you probably deserved it.

[Bobbz08]

Boo hoo pig lover!!!....Show me where in the law it allows Gardas to beat ppl up as a punishment!!!

[seanbeag1]

Forgive me if I don't take offence from a criminal who can't spell.

[IRISHLIFE01]

der nuttin bu filth. scum of de earth

[seanbeag1]

Bet you'd still call them if you were raped.

[fenianprisoner]

Seem like a happy couple of Garda.

[ciaranfox2008]

i hate the garda

[Sandbag1988]

HAHA thats gas the garda just smiling at ya!! fuckin posh tosser havin a fuckin clue about the law the garda are the law!! they spend 3 years studying the law they know what they can and can not do!

[legendtkd]

Garda at their best, "why are you refusing to close my door?" eh because we can!

[welsh89hairs]

go on da gards sort out them hippy my daddy gives me money cunts

[keithodulaigh88]

Why didn't you just drive off? Or pull the door closed yourself? They aren't doormen.

[lennonpx200]

burn a crusty,best to use shell high octane

[evandots]

Yeah the Garda over here are retarded. They couldn't solve a crossword... Not all garda now, but the majority...

[IrishLooLaa]

Under what law - U seem to know it all why dont u tell us what law the Guards were breaking u fucken tosser - here's a suggestion COMMON LAW i.e. U R A Common Moron & the Guards ARE the LAW u non washing Dutch Gold drinking SMELLBAG :-) U R A TOSSER- Where's all ur anti establishment indymedia retards to back u on the forum??? U R A lonely still sleepin in ur parents house Loser

[ironhorse813]

U always roll over on ur back!!!??? coward!!!!!

[uarecheap]

@IrishLooLaa If you agree with the Guards actions during that protest, then you're a traitor to this nation. That is all.

[Eoghansy]

@uarecheap What actions, upholdoing the laws of the land. Upholding trespassing laws? so if 10 retarded hippies decide to occupy your land/house make sure you dont ring the Guards. Point out to them that you feel they r entitled to do what they like. F'n moron

[uarecheap]

@Eoghansy Don't just say ten retarded Hippies. You ask the locals the how they felt being pushed aside. I don't care if it's safe or not. This represents the Government siding with shell and ignoring the local community. If the people had a voice and if the Government weren't a bunch of wussies, their could have been an arrangement where we could have profited and this could have been avoided. Like short term contracts with smaller companies. Or the Government could have ran it and leased it out

[uarecheap]

@Eoghansy Also have some respect. Don't just call someone a fucking moran, because they have a different opinion than you.

[bongotheorangutan]

."under wot law" posho prick. does yer da work for shell and this is your way of getting back at him?!

[huckteeper]

perhaps you are happy with your government handing your country's natural resources over to Shell for next to nothing, but that doesn't mean we all have to be.

[bigballsno1]

Where are your youtube cronies backing you up ..because i dont see any ..

[DrFoxtopus]

nope, they're a bit like school bullies ain't they?

[patsorrn]

Were you bullied at school DrFoxtopus, is this your way of dealing with the bad memories

[DrFoxtopus]

What by pointing out injustice? If everyone stood up to people instead of backing cowards, there would be a lot less bad memories going around.

[stibman]

lol the dirt bird just smiled at ye, did they actually give you a reason y they held the door open?

[6ty]

thats brilliant

[DrFoxtopus]

How does 30 pieces of silver sound?

[DrFoxtopus]

It's less about free speach and more about if i can be bothered replying to your tedious remarks.

You haven't contributed anything that i can see. You haven't even made one video. All you do is spend your days commenting on a very small portion of my videos.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were being paid to do this by shell. It's been known.

[patsorrn]

I'm not, but if anyone from shell wants to pay me just make me an offer, i'll also work for yourself Doctor if you can match their offer

[DrFoxtopus]

Maybe i should start deleting these comments becuase they are so childish and boring?

[patsorrn]

Maybe just delete your stupid videos, hey what ever happened to free speach

[SuperSpinJump]

A letter to the Irish Independent, perhaps? Maybe then will pick up the paper out of boredom and read it. Then your message will reach it's target and maybe, just maybe a single Garda will give a crap what you post.

[patsorrn]

Maybe his car is there because it ran out of petrol, pity they don't have a shell station nearby! ouch!

[DrFoxtopus]

He can't close it becuase they're obstructing him. Surely you can grasp that?

[patsorrn]

Maybe if he could just "grasp" it he could close it himself! God i love this shit...

[DrFoxtopus]

He'd probably get charged with assualt. God i'm bored of this shit, haven't you got anything better to do?

[delta720]

Do u actually believe that he'd get charged with assault? And i presume the gardai did move after he mayb asked them to actually move and not to close his door for him...this is just on the thinking that they didnt stand there all day...

[delta720]

Eh they wont close it coz they're not ur fucking servents!! Close it urself u bollox

[DrFoxtopus]

Yeah but where is your reasoning?

[DrFoxtopus]

Well, seeing that the majority of your comments are based on no actual facts at all, I would sincerely doubt your statements' reputation.

Eh?

[patsorrn]

Well seeing as i also consider you a tool i can understand your feeling like that

[delta720]

Haha nice 1!!

[patsorrn]

Thanks, Hippy baiting is such fun, though i's say it's only a matter of time before someone starts protesting against it..

[DrFoxtopus]

I'm sure many people think the same of you. Name calling isso 1997, dont you think?

[patsorrn]

I'm not name calling, just stating what i think is a fact

[patsorrn]

I don't think they're refusing to close the door of your car under any law. I think it's just because you're a tool

[DrFoxtopus]

No they don't.

[TelecomEireann]

the gardai dont have to say anything on camera, THE RIGHT TO REMANIN SILENT, you know?, yeah, Guards have that right too...

[irishjimbolad]

oh by the way check the comments on your profile i think its shows what we all think of you :) by the way trying to be tough does not work for you gardai deal with alot harder scum than you, i think the smile on his face says it all.

[irishjimbolad]

"That's a very silly conspiracy theory." oh i love ut lol would you not think your view is the same, garda are sound i know a few all could not be nicer, but whoever is the guy in the car he is a ponce, they dont have to tell you what law unless your being arrested. That looks to me like he was a protester trying to get to the site. He like the other student tree hugger do gooders are the biggest drain on the State

[DrFoxtopus]

Yes it is. I really can't believe you think they're actors. Really? That's a very silly conspiracy theory. You are a silly person, yes you are.

Sadly they are real Garda, they do sometimes swap and hide their numbers, but mainly they're on show. If you can't see them it's probably due to the fact that they're on their shoulders and the camera's shooting upwards. Light doesn't bend round corners, it's basic physics.

[patsorrn]

He's a silly billy

[spannerotoole]

Why is it none of your videos that there are NO Garda showing their Badge Numbers on the their shoulders. They have to show these numbers or at least tell you if asked. Methinks your Gardaí are actors. I'm not defending the actions of the Garda but If your Gardaí are actors, your actors are breaking the law. It is illegal to pretend to be a Garda.

[irishjimbolad]

d4 head me thinks, go get a job stop living off many and daddy funding you to save tara

[DrFoxtopus]

Erm, i don't know anyone from D4 in the protest. Actually most the people i know don't even have a post code, it's Co Mayo, they don't have em out there.

[LURIG81]

They are NOTHING but puppets and stormtroopers for this corrupt Fianna Fail government. NOT A POLICE FORCE AT ALL. SHAME SHAME SHAME.

[DrFoxtopus]

Pot, kettle, black, fill in the gaps.

[youngrossiter]

fuck garda dere ass wipes fuck lik hittin pplz for nothin i swere to got i will fuck dem over one day

[patsorrn]

Well dong wit ure comint, yure nerly getin der wit de old spellin, mabde try de punkyouation nex time

[patsorrn]

that last one's for you youngrossiter, you moran

[DrFoxtopus]

Is that dylan moran?

[DrFoxtopus]

Anyone who actually believes that their police force is totally free off corruption is living with their head in the sand. Frankly it's the most absurd thing to hear in the world. Power corrupts, it's a very well known and sadly documented factor of the human animal. Your crime rate may be low, but you obviously are living a sheltered life, maybe becuase you have a very poor and closed press in your country, hopefully thet is to change, who knows?

[drfeelgoodeire]

the gardai are non-crrupt you fool,they have one of the highest crime solving rates in the world,ireland has a resonably low crime rate for a modernised country,and its not shitheads like you that are keeping that rate low,its the gardai,get a life

[DrFoxtopus]

Erm, it is bullying, they're abusing their power and trust. They don't uphold the law when it applies to big corporations, or their friends. I find it amaing at the amount of abuse i get on this site. I'm showing people hitting women, tripping people over and basically thuggish behaviour, and you defend them. Alright, the defenders are normally ranting imbeciles but really, this is an appalling sign of popular thought. Maybe you deserve to live in a corrupt police state.

[calculatrix]

Vastly sweeping statements, me thinks. A guard on a checkpoint has the right to stop your car as far as i'm aware. Big corporations get their comeupance from the Criminal Assets Bureau & the like. We defend them because overall the guards do a good job. I think the person that seems untrustworthy could be you because you were stopped. Ireland isn't a police state, maybe a nanny state but it's a democracy where the majority get what we want.

[DrFoxtopus]

I love this secondary school, george bush, blind faith in democracy. China bills itself as a democracy now, but if you speak agains it you suddenly 'dissappear'. England is a democracy, as is America, but the U.S.A's government was fruadulantly put in place and England had the largest ever protest in its history against the war, only to watch our head of state push forward. Sadly I have lost this naive faith in current democracy, maybe it's becuase i took my blinkers off, who knows?

[patsorrn]

Why don't all these protesters go to China and protest there, probably because they would be shot. Then they would know all about police brutality and i'd even have sympathy for them

[calculatrix]

What do you think is the alternative to democracy? Communism? Some sort of brehon law system were we all live organic with no electricity etc? I'm not being a smartarse, i'm just wondering what your alternative would be. Thanks.

[drfeelgoodeire]

so much frigin egits on this,.."anti police".

where the fuck would ye be without the gardai eh?yed b bitchin cos thers no police,..ye peopl think ur so smart goin al agenst the law nd shit...but if u wer anyway near a deep thinker ud realise that police etc. ar a gud thing,..and wen a guard is given the job 2 defend the st8 frm yupy gobshites like urman in th car but thers laws stoping them doing wat ther menta do the hav no choice but 2 do wat is hapning ther,...its not "bullying"...

[legallyclueless]

here here

[DrFoxtopus]

we've been here and had this statement before, i've answered it. New comments please.

[irishck]

gardai omit large pieces of evidence from tapes??thats pot calling kettle black!!!

[DrFoxtopus]

They do, daily, and i accept it. They also omit large pieces of evidence from their tapes when it's called on. I've seen them bare face lie to the judge as well.

[irishck]

who are you to question a guards authority?they have powers conferred by the state to implement the law to the best of their ability and someone like you films them carrying out their duties?remember whe they filmed protesters and they went beserk cliaming their rights were being impeded??works both ways so how would like it if they recorded you??

[chuzz123]

youre probably frm d4 or sumthin and have a stash of coke in the boot!

[DrFoxtopus]

Err, no i'm not nad no i haven't. You are a very silly man.

[Superapplefrog]

I take it you've not been bullied then? The cops are refusing to answer and one has a bullying look on his face (sort of "I'm gonna get you when the teacher aint here" - or in this case, the camera). Very sinister. Bur the police station down.

[mcgolfball]

Refusing to answer?? The video is 20 seconds in length u pleb

[Superapplefrog]

Yeh cus it takes 20 seconds to being with "We've stopped you because..."

[Cajo2000]

If the garda said he's holding the door opening in accordance with section 1010 of the xxx law would it have made any difference to you???? What authority did you have to film them doing their job? How would you like it if someone came into your work place and started filming you??? (Thats assuming you have a job, but which i suspect you dont otherwise you wouldnt be at the other side of he country protesting over something that has got absolutely nothing to do with you!!!

[ShelltoHell]

"your workplace" that's the stupidest defence of bullying I've ever heard. This garda bully's "workplace" was the public road and the camera was inside a private car. Imagine what would happen if the cameras weren't there! The gas in the Corrib field is estimated to be worth 8 Billion euro, from which the people in Ireland will see zero. This is a robbery from the people, and everyone's concern. Sad that you think it's your duty instead to defend the bullies. What's it got to do with you?

[internetuser2]

You are a lethargic devil.

[DrFoxtopus]

You are a comedian. But not a good one.

[internetuser2]

You are too. An even worse one it seems. That comment was directed at Mr.cajo,and it wasn't a joke. Must'v ended up in the wrong place.

I'm here to be nasty to people who stick up for 'the man'.

[00PC00]

You get into trouble alot with the guards, don't you?

[internetuser2]

It's not hard to get into trouble with the dumbfuck uniform ones, they have no sense of humour and walk around looking for it

[DrFoxtopus]

Well, due to the very risky nature of the pipeline, probably so. But it would be a step in the right direction. You have to realise that no governing body will accept responsibility for the pipeline, It's that dangerous.

[managedperceptions]

So if the refinery was being built by an irish public company instead of Shell, with the money made going into making life better for us by funding stuff. Would you still want it out at sea?

[DrFoxtopus]

you must be really lonely to constantly get into these conversations. Sadly i'm not, so i'll go now until you have something worth sayiong to reply to.

[DrFoxtopus]

Petrol, not gas. Understand? Petrol. Gas isn't petrol. Also the Shell to sea campaign is about moving the refinery to sea, hence, 'shell to sea'. Clear? Good.

[octanedotie]

Gas produces about 25% the C02 emissions of petrol. If you care about the environment, that's what your car should be running on. Google for LPG conversions and educate yourself on something that you won't find in the literature section of a shop that sells mostly beads. So your not against the refinery as such, you just want the refinery in a certain place?

[DrFoxtopus]

Shell to sea, get it? SHELL TO SEA!

That's the issue.

I don't drive, that was someone else.

The issue is not the enviroment but the people.

You are really blinkered aren't you?

[octanedotie]

How about Shell builds the refinery on land and we put you out to sea? There's gotta be an unihabited island somewhere off the West where you can light up in a love tent and talk to seagulls and stuff?

[octanedotie]

So... let me get this straight... You're protesting at a Shell development, which you drove to... in your car... which runs on?

[arsecunt101]

petrol not shell u dick

[bexie85]

that sounds like the tool bag of dan and becks

[dawnrun911]

Mr South Co Dublin can quibble with the pigs about them holding his fucking door open until the cows come home, the pigs would NEVER rough up Mr South Co Dublin.

[warhoundtitan]

Someone onece said to me would i like to join the guardi or the Army and i said id go with the Army! Because if i joined the Guards i would not get any respect from the People/Community but you do in the army because everyone hates the Guards!

[guairm]

At the time the tree hugger was preventing the work to continue at the new shell gas line by blocking the road with his car. They only carry cameras to show an garda siochana up.

[DrFoxtopus]

Well, if they were blocking the route, then surely the guarda should move him and not prevent him for moving, that woudl be logical, wouldn't it? Also, how can we show the guarda up by using camera's, they just record them, it's the cops who show themselves up, we merely document it. How do you know about this anyway? Unless you're one of them.

[guairm]

My point is that the Garda Siochana which translated means guardians of the peace have no problem with a peaceful protest. When you have demostrators who continously prevent vehicles from entering designated areas and who are willing to break the law this has to be dealth with in a swift manor. Many protesters carry filming equipment and edit any video footage in order to show members of the Garda Siochana up, why dont they show the continous harassment the Guards are face everyday.

[DrFoxtopus]

what if they're not blockign the public highway, officer?

[utick]

blocking public highways

[DrFoxtopus]

Why? On what grounds? Are you seriously thick?

[greg678]

Jail the lot of them hippie protestors.

[DrFoxtopus]

You suspiciously sound like a police officer (number 168 is that you). I agree that they have better things to do, like their job which is catching real crinimals, not intimidating normal civilians that are trying to defend themselves from corporations stealing their natural resources and employing glorified thugs to beat up women in the name of the 'law'. A law that seems vague when addressed. When justice is done, i'll gladly go home.

[KennyMutz81]

....probably to stop you tresspassing or causing obstruction. I'd say they have better things to do than be leaning on your door. Go home to Leeds and stop causing hassle in Ireland
