The recent abuse directed at Senator Eileen Flynn must be called what it is, Traveller #racism

The narrative goes beyond political disagreement. Personal attacks on her intelligence, her voice and her appearance are not legitimate critique. They draw on long-standing stereotypes that have been used to exclude Travellers from public life for generations

Where're the 'Irish Patriots' and their 🇮🇪🇮🇪 protesting this?

"Trump administration deports elderly Irishman from US to Costa Rica"

Separately, the US is continuing to use Shannon Airport to facilitate its deportation operations

An US aircraft operated by JourneyAir leased by ICE landed in Shannon to refuel while deporting migrants to Nairobi in Kenya

It is due to stop in Shannon again on Sat afternoon on the return

hey, Ireland, if you really wish to support to the "salt of the earth" people, fix your subpar PUBLIC TRANSPORT, that's what we use to get around #FuelProtest #Ireland

MIGAS' "fuel" protest

We need price caps. Nothing less stop the profiteering / increases.
It's simple as that.
After that, we need to re-nationalise our energy.

This right wing government that is subservient to Trump will never do this.

We have to break away from this subservience to Donald Trump, US Imperialism, and fossil fuel capitalism!

1- Better Education, incl. HISTORY

2- Media not plataforming far-right and spreading misinformation,

3- Making politicians accountable for siding with hateful thugs...

what else? #FuckTrump #FuckMAGA and #FuckMIGA #FuelProtest #mastodaoine #humanities #history #education #MediaLiteracy #StopTheFarRight

Just heard of a vulnerable person having a seizure for 20min stuck on the blocked road. The desperation of the carers and mom, but worse, he will probably have brain demage from this. How many more cases like this?

What we've been watching this week is not a #fuelprotest. It is a #blockade

"A protest persuades [...] A blockade puts a small mobilised minority in a logistics chokepoint and squeezes until the rest of the country is forced to negotiate at gunpoint with whoever happens to be holding the chokepoint that morning. One is democratic. The other is the precise opposite of democratic, it is the substitution of leverage for argument"

“the price increases seen in recent weeks were not driven by competition issues, but rather by significant increases in international wholesale costs”

These extreme situations show a bit more how people really feel deep down

If they don't openly hold The Irish First! anti-immigrant anti-LGBTQIA racist misogynistic views, the fact that it doesen't bother them to support those who do, confronts us. Surprised by some left wing polititians, a housing activism group, even my local coffee shop 💔

I for one prefer to know the truth, it feels safer this way even if it is mostly heartbreaking

#FuelProtest #FuelProtestIreland #FuelPrice #mastodaoine

It's terrifying how many well meaning Irish pages don't see who they are getting in bed with, even when followers are alerting them. Oh no, not alerting "creating division." The #FuelProtest ORGANISERS are far-right criminal thugs homophobic anti-immigrant grifters animal abusers domestic violence perpetrators MAGA funded ⚓️⚓️ Jeez it happened in Canada not that long ago, before that, the Yellow Vests, remember?

End Deportations Belfast is the exception

#mastodaoine #FuelProtestIreland #rant

Heartbreaking the abuse suffered by these women who have been feeding the homeless in Dublin for years. Not the first time these protests get hijacked by far right grifters and agitators. Lots of lies being spread. Let's spread the truth. Muslim Sisters of Éire deserve our support ❤️

undefined | Fuel protest: Rush hour delays after M50 blocked by protesters; collections blocked at Ireland's only oil refinery

The fuel‑price protests that began on Tuesday have now entered a second day, with hauliers, farmers and contractors blocking major roads and fuel depots across the country. In Dublin the M50 was shut at Junction 5 in Finglas, causing three‑hour delays and forcing traffic onto alternative routes such as the N2, N4 and N7. Similar blockades were reported on the M11 at Bray North, the M7/N18 in Limerick, the N52 in Tullamore and on routes around Galway, Cork and Sligo. The Whitegate oil refinery – Ireland’s only refinery – was surrounded by tractors, trucks and cars, halting fuel collections and prompting warnings that garage forecourts could run out of petrol and diesel if deliveries were not restored.

Government officials have repeatedly condemned the actions as illegal and harmful to commuters, businesses and emergency services. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan warned that “no one is above the law” and promised consequences for unlawful blockades, while Taoiseach Micheál Martin said traffic laws must be enforced and that the government is negotiating with representative bodies for hauliers and farmers. Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon warned that the protests threaten animal‑feed supplies and could jeopardise pig and poultry farms, and the Minister for Agriculture called the blockades “damaging the Irish public”. The government has announced a €250 million support package, including reduced excise duties and an expanded diesel rebate, but has refused direct talks with the protesters themselves.

Protesters say they will remain in their vehicles until the government meets a series of demands: a €400 energy credit for the most affected, caps on white and green diesel, and the abolition of the carbon tax and excise duty on diesel. They allege that diesel prices for heavy‑duty tractors have risen from €400 to €700 per fill, adding tens of thousands of euros to operating costs and threatening the viability of farms and haulage firms. Leaders of the movement, such as agricultural contractor James Geoghegan, warn that without relief the country could face a “bigger collapse than the Celtic Tiger”, urging a rapid meeting with senior officials to prevent further disruption to fuel supplies and the wider economy.

Sorry, no diesel

I walked past Blarney Autos this morning and clocked the “SORRY NO DIESEL” sign on a car blocking the diesel pumps there. The fuel protests have been rumbling on around the country for days now, refineries are ringed by placards, and the knock-on is landing on forecourts like this one. It doesn’t help tha...

Sorry, no diesel

I'm fine with peaceful protests.

All the same, you probably don't want to be asking for something that is untargeted and risks contributing to energy shortages, inflation, and longer term long-term inequality that will make everyone worse off while at the same time you are blockading essential fuel depots and obstructing emergency vehicles.

There's very little left in cause or method for the public (or the public purse, which has to make spending choices) to get behind there...

#fuelprotest

I acknowledge the #FuelProtest is in response to legitimate concerns BUT the scale of organisation and speed of escalation, including the blockading of national infrastructure makes me wonder if there might be #AgentsProvocateurs at work. #Russia? #Iran?
