The Garda referred to in last paragraph was NOT speaking to camera. He was just chatting to a photographer.

Just back from the Dail protest and can barely remember feeling so dejected.
Just back freezing from Dublin and the pathetic excuse for a protest. For the second time in under a fortnight the so called Left have led us to think we were going to a fightback when in fact we were just going to hear their election pitches.
Tonight was an embarrassment to Ireland and its left blocs, numbers were down because the last promise of civil disobedience in O'Connell Street was also a deliberate blow out by the leaders of the soon to be electoral left, chants, rants and more chants in the freezing cold then home.
The budjet gets passed, people go home dejected again, a massive oppportunity for class action wasted deliberately by the left.
I understand its all part of a bigger electoral strategy and in fact now is not the time for civil disobedience.
The long term strategy better be good, otherwise we have wasted the best opportunity for class agitation in our generation.

Fine Gael finance spokesman Michael Noonan said the Budget was the product of “a puppet Government who are doing what they have been told to do by the IMF, the EU Commission and the European Central Bank”.

Most exactly, 100% correct, I'd say to that particular comment.

Which contrasts very sharply with the ever-growing, outrageous and pernicious lies contained in Finance Minister Mr Lenihan's budget comment of yesterday: “Today’s Budget is our first step in ensuring that we can get back firmly on our own feet.”

The above quotes are from: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/frontpage/2010/1208/1224285029778.html

The sooner the people of the Republic of Ireland have Mr Lenihan and all those who voted in favour of his insidious budget removed from public office, the better (it seems to me): provided of course that the people of the Republic of Ireland take the time and trouble to look for, and find, public office replacements who have what it takes to serve the whole of our society in open, honest, and caring ways.

Basically, it seems to me that we in the Republic of Ireland now desperately need lots of good quality "public servants" who are willing and happy to serve our sovereign and independent nation state, and all of its people; and, who will replace our red-rotten-with-corruption and arrogance "ruling elite" style government, and all of their "insider dealings" with the insiders of the "invisible global government" (i.e. the de facto global monarchy), that is being run by the red-rotten-with-corruption and arrogance privately owned global banking cartel, and which is being fronted (in part) by the IMF (International Monitory Fund).
