Jump To Comment: 1 2pity i missed this, sounded interesting, i had wanted to go to this.
The intro statement mentions "tens if not hundreds of thousands in the struggle for more freedom" in the history of Ireland since 1798. I'd say tens of thousands probably turned out for '98 and many more were slaughtered, some atrociously contrary to all norms of humanity. Only around a thousand turned up at the GPO, Bolands Mill, the Castle and elsewhere for 1916. During the War of Independence 1919-21 maybe a few thousand actually joined the guerrilla forces, while a few thousand others gave help in the form of safe houses, quarter-mastering and information gathering. Probably less turned out for the Irregulars in the 8-month civil war of 22-23.
So far the turnout numbers for protests against bank bailouts and the cost cutting repercussions of the financial upheaval have been erratic. The trades unions don't represent all of the workforce and there are 'contradictions' among salaried workers, so we'll have to see how many thousands of citizens can be mobilised. And if FG-Lab forms the next government, will supportive trade union leaders 'cool it' so the new government can preside over the awful impact of the Four-Year Plan and things? Will the hundreds of thousands stay quiet then?
