Hundreds of people took to the streets in Ireland today to protest against the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
Over 20 local protests took place around the country on Saturday, with over 500 people joining the protest in Cork city.
Protesters in Cork gathered on Grand Parade this afternoon before marching to the GPO where they staged a brief sit-down protest and then continued to City Hall.

The dumb Irish - protesting what they contributed to by voting socialist vote and wanting more government to fix something that government caused in the first place

Yep.
Politicians keep being stupid and find out....

Stop voting for politicians who spend more money than they have.
Freezing prices is a good way to get back to the good old days of the ‘tater famine.
