Grey Power, Irish Style

Irish pensioners don't take too kindly to have their medical cards taken away:

I didn't know that booing was allowed in churches. I was wondering why the meeting was held in a church in the first place; it turns out that the original meeting room in the nearby Alexander Hotel was far too small for the crowd that turned up (over 1,000), so the local priests kindly obliged. I'm presuming they thought it would be a staid affair, though, and not the almost-lynching that actually happened.

The cynical part of me wonders how many of the crowd will blithely vote Fianna Fáil yet again at the next election.
