If you haven't subscribed to her 'The Briefing' newsletter, do.
Shout-out to everyone who's been pearl-clutching about these supposed "workers," when they are, in fact, self-serving, self-entitled, business-owning capitalists looking for a bail-out from public monies.

So, the "breakthrough" of a meeting tomorrow at 2:30pm between fuel protestors and government means blockades being lifted within an hour, yes? Yes? #FuelProtests #RTÉPT #MastoDaoine
Seems like a few HGVs are leaving Dublin city centre via Dublin 7, judging by the sounds of them blasting the neighbourhood out of it at almost 11pm. I'm sure everyone's delighted with that, especially with young kids.

Looks like 20+ Garda vechiles, including public order unit, have arrived at Whitegate refinery:
Adverse public health impacts of the #FuelProtests continues: "The public in Ireland have been urged to only buy the fuel they need to ease supply issues" to ensure emergency response vehicles have access to fuel, following a meeting of the National Emergency Co-ordination Group (NECG).

Yeah, she mentions that in her piece. ("@LizCarolan: she's on Meta and Twtr so you don't have to.")
It's always great to have some English nationalist petit-fash tansplain our country to us. I look forward to the NI Loyalists chiming in (looking at you, Coolock), esp the ones with the worst criminal records imaginable.
Good times.
