Poll: Should protests be banned from our city centres?

Taxi drivers brought Dublin traffic to a near standstill this week. Do you think such protests should be kept away from the centre of town?

A ‘SLOW DRIVE’ by some 30 taxi drivers brought traffic in Dublin to a near stand-still on Tuesday — and at the end of the month, another large-scale Irish Water protest is planned.

Retailers lost up to 60 per cent of their trade on the day of the last big water protest, a spokesperson for the Dublin Chamber of Commerce said during the week.

The group said it would like to see a system in place that allows for effective protest, without the city coming to a standstill for excessive periods.

What do you think?


Poll Results:

It's essential protests be allowed full access to the city centre. (5333)
Some limitations would be okay. (1814)
They should be kept away entirely. Maybe sent to a park. (1097)
No interest/opinion. (159)

    From reading about these victims its glaring how well educated they are which is the opposite to what these savages want because you start to think for yourself. Their lives were cut down too soon. RIP.
