Has anyone seen an estimate of how many protestors are blockading the country? Watching RTÉ news reporting ‘large crowds’ i.e. ‘hundreds’.

When tens of thousands march peacefully for Palestine or climate it hardly gets a mention…

It's not that many in Sligo 20 tops but they are well organised. Donegal truckers seem to have invaded us, which is strange because they are always whining about "not having anything up here"

Two hours ago at the O'Connell bridge and O'Connell street there were dozens - but less than 50. The police was basically doing the blockading on their behalf at this point.

Reminds me of a loyalist protest in the north. 7 loyalists blocking a bridge with the ruc turning cars away.

Rte feels very biased in favor of the protests.

I drove past the M8 blockades yesterday and there were approximately 20 to 50 at each motorway off ramp. Tiny numbers basically
