'Organisers said more than 100,000 people took part in Saturday's protest, while the Irish police (Gardai) estimated that "in the region of 50,000" people marched to Dublin's General Post Office, site of the nationalist uprising against British rule in 1916."

"One of the largest demonstrations in the Irish Republic's history brought more than 100,000 people on to Dublin's streets in protest over the international bailout and four years of austerity ahead."

and as for W Finnerty's 'why' regarding the sidelining of judiciary and legislature, could it be anything to do with the clientelist nature of our creaking half-way-house demockkracy?
We need to stop the navel-gazing conviction that we are in some unique unprecedented condition that has not been visited on anyone else. Its a global system, and we(nationally) are quite fucking comfortably inside the 'western' tent. Half the trouble with the pricks running us is that they are not even half-decent gamblers, or they would be calling the ECB/IMF bluff and remembering that if you owe the bank a grand you are in trouble, if you owe them a zillion, they are. Thats their 'too-big-to-fail' stick that they are trying to protect their mega bondholders with. All we have to do is reverse the fucking charges and tell them go ahead, make our day and pull down their Euro. Why do you think they are in such a fucking hurry? Get it signed and sealed by monday before the market rates go any higher? Fuck them, we are NOT in the market this monday, or next. Thats their bluff.
They fed the cheap credit deliberately(read Naomi Klein foir the formulaic program)and now its net-haul time. Unfortunately our fucking mis-leaders are so into going with the dictated flow they've forgotten it takes a live fish to go against it.
Those of us who spent the last half century trying to point out the natural trajectory of marrying oursleves to imperial policies(through the height of the fuck-off-we're-booming dismissals) will not be upping our anxiety levels too much over the current shit.We are quite used to the culprits prescribing the remedy for their crimes, and realise Rome(holy Rome)will not be burned in a day. QWe are nlot so much run by clever gangsters as rather thick altar boys.Hence the earlier bailout of Rome over the compensation to abused children, again dropped on the taxpaying low-paid while Father and Mother Superior tucked into the cabbage and bacon.
