Protestors being led away at Whitegate #FuelProtests 📸Brian Connolly

Good to see the locals clapping the Gardes

The protesters have the support of all Irish who struggle with heatings costs and putting fuel in their car.

Jesus it’s going to kick off……. Fuck the Irish government and fuck mehole Martin

Looks like the locals are happy that the mob are being cleared.

Well done Gardai. Enough of the public being intimidated and harassed by these unelected & self-appointed bullies. We live in a democracy. Run for office if you have an issue with something.

Protesters doing no harm being treated like this Absoulte disgrace by our government the right to protest isn’t respected this government would rather high taxes and people lose there jobs then give in at this stage this country is being run by children who don’t respect workers

Welcome to Russia says one lad 😂 ye’d be thrown in prison or shot if ye tried it out there

This has been a peaceful protest for the last 4 days now the heavy handed Government Security Service arrived to start trouble. @MichealMartinTD @OCallaghanJim should resign.

The antagonist are out trying to provoke peaceful protest #fuelprotest

Fight them ... hard ... it's not going to go well just standing around .... If I could do our Trucker's protest all over again .. I'd fight like there was no tomorrow because there might not be one now.

Blockading our energy imports whilst protesting the cost of energy imports is absolute madness. What started as a strategically masterful bit of protesting turned into some serious shoot yourself in the foot type stupidity. Be smart lads. Box clever

“The law is for everyone” they say but they chose not to abide by it and refused to leave following direction from the gardai to do so

Good job! If they can't protest peacefully and legally then they need to be cleared. They were given plenty of notice.

@KillSaysNo

Why aren't they being handcuffed like they should be?

All the bully boys on full display. Can you imagine being related ti any of these, the shame will never lift.

About bloody time.

This is sad and upsetting to see.

Good. They fucked around, now they’re finding out.

Being picked off one by one, see how easy you've made it for them? Divided we will fall.

@mollykobi That's not being led away...

What a great job to be a policeman in Ireland. Start on 38k a year and work your way up to a whopping 59K a year after 8 years. Drag poor people away and give them a criminal history to go with their bankruptcy. Maybe a cheeky kick in the head like some videos clearly show.

@fatima_gunning Oh yes @GardaTraffic will stomp on an old man, standing up for the ordinary tax payer but shielded Jozef Puska from the public’s well deserved rage.

The worst decision our inept government could ever make! They’ve just made things a whole lot worse.

Well done to the Gardai

@fatima_gunning Led away? Dragged on the ground by the looks of it. Uniformed thugs.

“The law is for everyone” - biggest joke of the week.

Police brutality against their own citizens. Disgraceful.

Bully boys in uniform they will be able to hang corks on their hats the same as the Tan's.

#fuelprotest The song "don't cross the line"

Good

It's past time for this to be done.

Wasn't Joe was lucky, that he wasn't dragged away like that Fadó fadó

Didn't take the self appointed hard men long to cave. Bunch of rednecks.
