And practically full employment, so, economically they are needed.

Quote from: Eoin McLove on April 27, 2025, 01:55:36 PMLooked like a big crowd all the same. 5000 is a decent turnout

The turnout was lot bigger than 5000 not sure what the exact turnout was but some estimating 20k others saying 50k and some lad who calculates these numbers for all the marches like the water charges one based on distance, road width and others things reckons it was 106k and the counter demonstration was 1644.

It's quite obviously more than 5k but absolutely nowhere near the higher estimates either. An awful pity the numbers couldn't just be reported by either side and making both look like bullshitters. Helps nothing and still doesn't build more houses or stem the influx of people ready to buy them or be handed them

That is what sensible folk would call "some lad who can safely be ignored from now on."

I guess we can also ignore whoever you got the 5k figure from.

No prob. Think it was RTE, and they prob took that straight from the gardaĆ­ :laugh: But 100k+ would put it in the biggest demonstrations in Ireland ever. Which it wasn't. No more than Steenson and Pepper, etc., represent "99%" of Irish people. It's all narcissistic delusion. McGregor, Putin, Trump: couldn't hope for better faces for this movement.

Just saw it on RTE. Given that they already lied about the numbers at a march 2 years ago which was discussed on here at the time I don't think many people are going to trust the numbers they post this time around. I never said the actual number was 106k it was just what I saw posted with the back up calculations. I doubt it was over 100k myself but it was also a lot more than 5k.

Garda estimates, no matter the cause, are always the lowest.

A 5 spot of hash. Enough to make 4,387 hand rolled cigarettes.

Beat me to it lol

One for everyone in the stands at the All Ireland Final.

The Gardai have been the longest established liars in Ireland so anything they "report" I consider horseshit. Sure they said they'd no involvement in the Clonskeagh dispute there the other week then the footage went up and they were in it   :laugh:


The scrap in the Islamic Cultural Centre the other week, it's been closed ever since. Media are afraid of their shite to report it properly - just referring to a distressing incident etc. Gardai initially said they weren't aware of an incident but when the footage emerged there were at least several present

From the bits and pieces I have read one group is trying to take the Cultural Centre over from the group currently running it by force. The group trying to take it over assaulted staff and board members on the premises last week.
