Apologies, this is a mostly Dublin centric rant but I've been pushed over the edge!
I'm an average citizen, with bills that only go up and income that's gone down and down for the past 5 years or so. Austerity hurts. But I was always taught to put your head down and work through it as best you can. It isn't easy but I've kept going.
I know there are sections of society that feel hard done by, some truly are, some are perpetual moaners/protesters/troublemakers...yes Eirigi I'm looking at you!
All year it's been protest after protest. Disturbance, delay and inconvenience on at least a weekly basis. Today's protests in Dublin have pushed me over the edge to the point of almost wishing the right to protest was rescinded. The traffic chaos in Dublin all day, caused by a few hundred, must have affected hundreds of thousands. It took me 40 mins longer than normal to get home this evening, I was late back from lunch today because some of the streets had been closed off by the Gardai.
I did nothing to cause the recession, to break the banks, like most I'm in negative equity of scary proportions. Protestors, please stop making me suffer ever more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
