Verona murphy was asked this morning if she supported them?

Traffic on Dublin’s quays is flowing well, however there is no traffic making its way over the East Link. Trucks are parked all around the 3 Arena roundabout with traffic being diverted away from the area.
Irish truckers and hauliers have said they will bring Dublin city to a “standstill” this week in protest against rising fuel costs and that the demonstration will be one “for the history books”, after several similar events late last year.
Who do these goms think they are demanding the immediate resignation of a serving government minister?
There's a whiff of fascism off these clowns.

They didn't even make the lunchtime news on Radio 1.Low turn out and the protestors are disappointed
Gardai have fined them for obstruction next move is penalty points.
Fucking idiots
The carbon tax increase will cost householders around 1.40 per month extra, How anybody can say that is a step too far is beyond me,Ryan will be sorted out in the next election.. no one can demand a minister resign because they don’t like his policy..
I do believe the carbon tax soon to introduced should be postponed. We pay too much tax but this isn’t the way to go about it.
I don’t think those advertising this protests are fascists but they are definitely lacking intelligence.
