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!

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.

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.
