I've 2 queries. Firstly, what role did the state play in blocking access to the port? I believe this march was to break an injunction. Was this done? If so, what was the reaction of the Gardaí?
Secondly, there still seems to be a determined nationalist element on these protests. I've not been to any due to work but would definitley support the strikers. To what extent is nationalism a trend in this protest? I saw a tricolour flag on TV today and I heard Joe Monney on the radio this morning arguing along the lines "This is a UK firm in Ireland, Irish workers should not be treated like this in our own country". I personally think nationalism is a dead-end strategy. To what extent are the workers in Antwerp blacking the goods from Ireland? This is the way to success.
the tricolour is a secular progressive flag of national liberation representing peace between orange and green on this island. it is non sectarian. many people are fed up with irelands sovereignty bein sold out to U.S.A in regards Shannon, to E.U in regards Lisbon , to multinationals in regards Shell etc. Why not an Irish flag, go off and worry about somethin else Benidictus
This may help to answer some of the above queries.
