Students occupying the Department of Finance.

50 comments

1. I’m sorry, but all I can see is that huge slaphead on the left.

2. Ah the SU president who left an SU vote to prevent himself being impeached, is talking about evicting the government.

3. Have they a clue how politics or finance works?

4. That’s exactly what I expected them to look like.

5. This could be an AI generation of Trinity student politics heads 

6. Lad on the left looks like the next youngest Taoiseach ever (since the last guy).

7. 

8. The Woody Allen comment 🤣🤣🤣

9. I’m not sure if they’d be happy either way – if the government calls an election there’ll probably be an inundation of independent TDs riding the anti immigration wave – not likely to be the type that these protesters would ever vote for

10. 

11. What is a staff cost of living crisis?

    Why are they occupying Finance specifically?

12. Wouldn’t be /r/Ireland if they didn’t start attacking looks instead of the actual message.

13. Ridiculous. What they should actually do is give out about how expensive stuff is on Reddit. That’ll teach the government!!!!

14. People in Ireland won’t protest!

    *People protest*

    Look at the state of them!

15. Fair play to them

16. Nice to see them get a head on the issues of the day.

17. Jesus, I didn’t realize r/Ireland was full of fucking Gucci models that you’re all throwing digs at how the lads look.

18. Christ that poor lad has a worse hairline than me and I’m completely bald.

19. Future Labour and PBP election candidates no doubt.

20. Fair play to them lads. You’ve more balls than most. Keep it up for the rest of us that can’t

21. Fair play to them. Power to the people. 💪

22. Good on them!!!

23. Good on them

24. Fair play to them, sadly I don’t think anything will become of this unless they take out the guillotines.

25. Attempt – Occupy Dept of Finance and overthrow the system

    Reality – The workers will use the back door to leave and no one in political office will pay this any attention, barely be aware it happened. They’ve at most ruined the afternoon of the person who is manning the reception desk and someone in corporate services who is over facilities.

26. Bit weird seeing guys I know personally from my course get roasted on Reddit, kinda surreal lol

27. Fair play to them, great to see them protest.

28. They are actually beginning to protest where decisions are made. And ofc DEPR.

29. Fair fucks to them, more people should take note.

30. Good for them for doing something anyway. More than you miserable fuckers 

31. The comments mocking these lads for their appearance, their message and for daring to protest something are shameful.

    This sub is full of shitty miserable cunts

32. Ah they got in this time.

33. People have a set of balls to do something and they get shamed. Not saying this will change much but Jesus Christ, all you fat asses who complain about the state and shame people who want change.

34. But what are they actually protesting?

35. Ah that takes me back to the student protest

36. Congrats lads! Keep it up 😁🇮🇪

37. Fair fucks

38. Good for them! 👏🏻

39. Vermin of Ireland’s Internet hang out on this sub,

    Same people, different accounts every couple of years

40. Hell of a hairline to have as a student.

41. It’s not fair to be attacking someone’s physical appearance. They can’t help that and it’s just… mean.

    However, I wish student protesters didn’t always look like they rolled out of bed after a night of cans. They’re not going to make themselves relatable to working people when they look like how right wing ideologues want them to look. They don’t need to dress like the Burkes or anything but unfortunately usually people do judge you if you look off the wall.

    I saw a guy at a protest in recent years with dyed neon hair and wearing a USSR cap and fetish gear. Attending protests like that won’t attract the working class, it just makes the protesters easier to dismiss as degenerates.

42. Fair play to them

43. Fair play keep it up very nice to see protests about something other than the Ireland is full bollocks

44. Fair play to them

45. well done, it was about time

46. Fair play to them 👏 

47. Good on them for doing something. Most people in this country just moan quietly.

48. Mad that like 90% of the comments are roasting the poor lad for his hairline.

49. Get in. Out out out

50. I remember the last time this happened and I was shocked to see the gardai brutality on that day.

    Ruari Quinn had promised to not raise the student contribution and not only did he renege on his promise he raised it to 200% of what it already was.
    If you want to see that disgusting event here it is.

    When students had liathroidi.
