We've seen this every time, regardless of the merits of the crisis or the protest. Everything from bringing in birthright citizenship because the minister for justice didn't like black people, to repealing the eighth amendment, to boycotting Dunnes for selling apartheid products, to bringing condoms from Belfast on the train, to calling for a mass grave of children in Tuam to be excavated, to neutrality protest, divorce protests, everything.
I see the press has reached the ad hominem stage of its crisis response protocol. It's so tiresome seeing this every time. Forget the crisis, look at the bad history of those actors, but never these actors. Pick one protester, find out they're a real shit; but do not, whatever you do, report on the failings and shittiness of any government TD or Minister (but report on the shittiness of any opposition TD you want to, they're fair game).
This is why we can't have nice things.
Six-one's journalists sure are thirsty for some heads to be cracked, and the Ministers are just being tired calm centerists who're just so terribly sorry but cracking heads is sadly necessary.
Give it a week, they'll drop the carbon tax entirely and be so terribly sorry that climate change is sadly necessary.
There’s no need to go on social media to get enraged
Just listen to Darragh O’Brien on Drivetime
And especially on a day when I heard about more #disability austerity that will affect my daughter
And all of this could be improved by us entering the modern world with the introduction of a democratic form of local government instead of the undemocratic/unaccountable Council CEO system we have now:

Well this was fun and the comments BTL are even more amusing. I expect the Guardian to switch them off. They do every time any =thing that provoke comment from Scotland comes up.
