RTE Six One news has finally aired footage of Gardai beating student at the recent national protest, six days after it occurred. Although the news report mentions a planned protest against the Garda brutality, it fails to state when it is, or who is organising it.
The Six One news on November 3rd following the protest failed to show any of the footage of students in the sit-down protest being beaten, and failed to mention that protesters had suffered any injuries.
The clip states that 28 complaints have now been lodged with the Garda Ombudman’s Commission.
Both USI and Green Party TD Paul Gogarty have condemned those involved in the protests, while supporting the Gardai.
We appeal to all who support the right to protest to join us tonight at 6pm, meeting at the Wolfe Tone statue by Stephens Green. We will then march to Pearse Street Garda Station together.

It seems that Fianna Fail have sanctioned their propaganda organisation RTE to allow exposure of their magnificent assault troops in action . This is done of course as a warning to any other group, of the treatment they will get if they dare to oppose the will of the government .They have controll of all sectors of Irish society and do not intend to let the peasants seek justice in such an audacious manner as peacefull protest.
They have been getting away with brutality in Rosport for years and the majority of the public stayed silent or even praised their actions.
NOW AT LAST THE PEOPLE WILL SEE THAT IRELAND IS RULED BY DICTATORS PRETENDING TO BE DEMOCRATS.
GOOD WISHES TO YOUR MARCH ihope you all stay safe from the thugs.
Personally, I don’t watch RTE ‘News’, it reminds me of Pravda before Glasnost. I made yesterday an exception and watched the predictable coverage of Rehn arriving to tell our ‘government’ what to do next. It was educational to see the ‘opposition’ displaying their loyalty to Brussels as well. The clip of Noonan and Burton having a chat was priceless, but then when your income is a minimum of €100,000, a little more austerity is nothing to be concerned about. The only difference between Rossport and the student demo was that it happened in the capital. I suspect that the ‘news’ in Montrose realised that their coverage, (people having watched the reality of what happened on other media) would have to be amended to almost correspond with reality.
