Gardai joke about attacking and raping a female protestor.

You actually condone it. You could not care less what those people are going through to live in fear. Typical attitude like yours will always follow the laws that oppress people. Not a very nice character you have developed.

Well are you and any of your crusty friends going to repay me nearly €2000 for damages caused to my vehicle? No then shut it! It would pay ye better to go out and get jobs rather then wasting tax payers money

You driving your vehicle in a protest zone is your own fault. You should have turned back until the protest cleared if you did not want to get caught up in it. The local residents lives were at stake.

Hang on a second, I dont know the road network there but what if he has no choice but use that road?

The protest been going on for years, hows anyone supposed to wait that long.

Well if the whole country got behind those protests and kicked Shell out and claimed those resources for the people of Ireland, this country may be richer than what it is today, Ireland is a goldmine of opportunity and its being given away to private companies the people will only suffer in the end if it continues that way.

I'm inclined to agree with you that we are losing a huge resourse but if I were living there I would feel safer with a shell pipeline then the micky mouse coke straw that our goverment would cobble together. Not much point having the resourse if you don't have the know how to get it out and process it but I do agree that we got a poor deal but the protests are not about the deal as such but the nuts and bolts of getting it from point A to point B.

We cant say were getting a poor deal when there isnt anyone else prepared to risk their capital to extract the resource. Were not giving it away either as we will get revenue from it. theres been a lot of posturing recently about facing down the french and germans over our company taxes but heres a bigger potential contributor to our economy.

Brock your just being narrow-minded... If they were protesting peacefully I should not have to worry about any tree hugged damaging my vehicle!! I'm only trying to make a living and if I've to go that way I'll go that way and protest or no I'm paying road tax I'm entitled to drive any public road in ireland

[tuam sham]

Brock your talking SH1T that's my opinion!! I have no respect for yours sadly but your entitled to it!!!

If u listen to the tape there was clearly no collaboration your off your rocker if you read collaboration into that, they were joking, in very bad taste admittedly.

Lives arent at stake, its up to the technical authorities to assess the risk. My house has an electric pylon nearby and lorries full with airplane fuel regularly drive past but I live with this risk on the basis that people more technically qualified than i have judged the risk to be acceptable. Or i can move house...

just like the Glen of the Downs most of the protesters aren't form the area, half of them probably aren't even Irish. They should all be swept into the sea and made wash, stupid crusties.

I see you don't care about the beautiful natural environment of Ireland and like it being cut down and exploited, Ireland is the most deforested area in Europe Her beauty must be protected.

Mia Culpa... thats partly down to me

I do care about the natural beauty of Ireland but I am also well aware that for the greater good of the county certain things have to be done. If Ireland is to secure foreign investment we need our infrastructure up to scratch, we can't pander to people taking an unlawful route.
