The Daily Poll

How do you feel about the protests now?

It’s been a wild week.

THIS WEEKEND HAS seen multiple blockades of critical infrastructure come to an end, as gardaí mounted major cross-country operations to unwind the fuel protests.

Protesters decided to stand down from other locations, including blockades in Foynes and Rosslare, but the reverberations will continue for some time to come.

Government ministers are holding an emergency meeting today to sign off on a multimillion euro support package – and they will also face a no confidence motion in the Dáil in the coming days.

So, today we’re asking:

How do you feel about the protests now?

Poll Results:

I don’t support them (5627)

I support them (5395)

Don't know/unsure (956)

I support them
I don’t support them
Don't know/unsure
