Public anger continues to fall upon deaf ears
IT HAS been very interesting to see how a protester shouting abuse at President Michael D Higgins elicited such a hysterical response from the Government.
While the Government and many commentators have expressed outrage at this “threat to democracy” represented by a few protesters, I would argue that the heavy-handed treatment by the gardaí of water protests across the country and the Government inaction and meek compliance with our European bosses are more sinister threats to our fragile democracy.
