Fuel Protestors Who Blocked Roads/Depots Warned Gardai Are Coming For You

About this episode

Adrian and Jeremy debate the implications of Gardaí tracking down individuals involved in recent fuel protests.

Gardai have set up “incident rooms” around the country to hunt down anyone who broke the law during the recent fuel blockades — and it has people raging. Adrian and Jeremy go head-to-head on the big question: should the Gardaí be tracking down truckers, farmers and protesters after the fact… or is it a massive waste of resources that’ll only rile people up again? Callers are split. Some say “the law is the law” and want prosecutions to set a precedent. Others argue the protests helped bring fuel prices down and that going after people now is political policing. And as always… it gets heated.
