"100% support them even tho i got caught in hours of traffic. We are so heavily taxed in this country yet we see no material benefits. I work in a Hospital, I've seen better facilities and services in third world hospitals. There comes a time where Irish people have to stand up and challenge such an inept government which does not help the average Irish tax payer. Income tax, PRSI, USC, VAT, LPT, stamp duty, capital gains, CAT, Motor Tax, Corporation tax, Fuel tax, Carbon tax, Alcohol tax, tobacco tax, sugar tax, etc etc They have no problem spending 1.2 Billion on migration centres and hotels and upkeep. Yet the average Irish tax payer sees nothing in return. Terrible infrastructure, schools, hospitals etc etc. People need to wake up. 🇮🇪 " | |||

"They are blocking emergency vehicle access in limerick/clare, people cannot get to hospitals for treatment,for some their lives depend on it especially vulnerable people,hse staff cannot get to work,garages running out of fuel,no heatling oil for elderly,next food shortages in shops, and you support these peoples actions ? Theres a right way and wrong way to go about it. Rest assured people have and will die due to their blockades if they fail to get access to emergency services,its not hearsay i had personal experience yesterday when elderly relative had a fall.wake up,think about the consequences for others before you hold everyone in country to ransom,you should be arrested and vehicles impounded for endangering lives." The hard sholder has been left open for any ambulance. Youre making stuff up. Sounds like you are part of the problem. No one has died because of this. The government could end this anytime. | |||

"A reduction in the government duty and abolition of carbon taxes are a long term goal of the Road Haulage Association etc. These groups are using the spike in oil prices as an opportunity to advance this agenda. Fair enough Very well said However the loss of revenue from fuel levies will leave a hole in the public finances which will have to be filled from elsewhere. Perhaps in other stealth taxes like alcohol or cigarettes. Or perhaps by changing the income tax brackets. Not many people would be happy about that either. Also as predicted the far right have co-opted these protests to advance their own agendas. Have a Quick Look at the Facebook groups springing up in support of the protests and the anti immigrant comments ( one such above) and sovereign citizen shite. The Nurses go on strike but don’t grind the country to a halt. If you want to strike stay at home. " | |||

"And that tax pays for social welfare, hospitals, schools etc" Did that tax not go to Ukraine whom then put it into vans and sent it out of Ukraine and was seized in Hungary heading for a unknown destination undocumented, did that tax not go to the world bank when the government minister gave them over ten million that they didn't want and then that person got a job with the world bank , did the tax not go to hotel owners to pay for hotel rooms so young lads could have a nice all inclusive holiday even though they never paid a cent in tax , will I continue with more examples | |||

""We can lift protest in 2 hours if government agree talks" Government to meet official representatives of hauliers and farmers. "Protest will continue Friday" Who is in charge of protest and who are the four nominated spokespersons? A bit like Netenahu and Trump?" That's not hard figure out the spokesperson s are from the farming industry , the trucking industry , the agricultural contractors , taxi drivers etc basically any collective group of people of different industry sector s whom are protesting to give consumers better value for money | |||

"Price of agri fuels have increased by 40-60% depending on location and amounts from March to April. Currently 1.44 to 1.60 per litre. Approx 60% of which is tax. A large tractor may have a fuel tank of 200-300 litres and can easily drain that daily depending on use. There's is no alternative to its use. How can a normal working person be expected to absorb those increases when already living on the margin? Why would you expect the people to provide the answers when we pay millions to a government on two weeks holidays I may add to do exactly that. Other countries have capped prices to help it's fuel dependant industries at this time. This is not an unreasonable protest and I'm fully sure no farmer contractor or haulier wants to be on the streets causing disruptions to the public. Most protests and blockades have gardai on site with lanes available for emergency vechicles and emergencies at large. Though some exceptions occur one would hope it's not intentional. Like it's being said. They cannot afford to go home as they won't have any way to contine to pay bills. This is crisis not change for betterment. Its survival." Additional costs for farmers and hauliers will have to be passed on to the average person, produce in shops and trades etc will have to go up as it was those guys are already cut to the bone with costs and tight margins | |||
