P45 Vox Pop. Munster Fans say why Govt should be kicked to touch.

Yesterday, as fans poured into Thomond Park to watch Munster v Cardiff, I brought along a camera to do a quick Vox Pop of the fans, asking one simple question:

"Why should the Irish Government be kicked to touch?"

Some of the answers are not fit for print, and some shy people turned out to be civil servants not wishing to appear on camera, but here's the 'PG' version of the answers (with only one case of swearing I wasn't able to edit out).

These are some nice German ladies from Múnster, who didn't understand the question, but did want their photo taken!

I found nobody willing to speak up for the govt, despite another trip to Willie O'Dea's clinic. This time I had tagged along to someone else's protest, one organised by the Limerick Socialist Party, and attended by about 18 people, despite the cold, and the rugby match being on. There were almost as many Gardai in Belview Gardens as there were protestors.

Most of the picket at Willie O'Dea's clinic on a cold Saturday.

About half of the Gardai who were there (the unmarked cars were at other end of the road)
