people's homes. on divorce protests took place. in scads of the sea of clock loreal woman went out in the morning and said you are not putting up be the outside my house. i told him they were coming to the station but we didn't want the water meters and that was us. waiting an hour or two there was a mass of supportive people here to stop them. and this was the first time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since austerity had begun says the troika ride to toes in the not. because. i thought i thought it was my. i think for some people it probably was the straw that broke the camel's back.
