I was raised on this.
The farmers occupied roads with machinery and they also blockaded fuel depots.
So by last Friday
I think it was 60% of petrol stations civilian petrol stations in Ireland were running out of fucking petrol of fuel so the country itself by Saturday a couple of days ago critical infrastructure had been brought to the brink of collapse because we have an infrastructure that relies upon cars and trucks having petrol and diesel in order to deliver our goods emergency services everything
The lunch that I ate today was different to my regular lunch because the shelves in my shop, in my supermarket, are still half empty because trucks couldn't get there at the weekend.
The guards were called in.
A request was made for the army to be called in.
The guards removed, physically, some reports of violence, removed protesters.
around the fuel depot blockades.
Long story short, the protest mostly stood down and the government responded.
The government announced a 500 million euro of measures to support people that are struggling with rising energy costs.
It's not an adequate response, but it's some response.
And what I like about all of this is we saw a protest working.
We saw a protest working and then a response.
The response is more of a band-aid than a solution.
Some people weren't happy with the protests at all.
They were saying, if you want a protest, just get out there and march.
Why do you have to block the roads?
Why do you have to block critical infrastructure?
Why do you have to stop people getting to their medical appointments or unable to get fuel for their cars?
