The Daily PollPoll: Should protests be banned from our city centres?
Taxi drivers brought Dublin traffic to a near standstill this week. Do you think such protests should be kept away from the centre of town?
A ‘SLOW DRIVE’ by some 30 taxi drivers brought traffic in Dublin to a near stand-still on Tuesday — and at the end of the month, another large-scale Irish Water protest is planned.
Retailers lost up to 60 per cent of their trade on the day of the last big water protest, a spokesperson for the Dublin Chamber of Commerce said during the week.
The group said it would like to see a system in place that allows for effective protest, without the city coming to a standstill for excessive periods.
What do you think?
