Yesterday Gardaí and the Dublin Fire Brigade were called to the headquarters of RTE where a man had scaled the mast with a number of protest banners. Sadly for him, he did it late at night when the area was in darkness and none of the news reports on the event seem to make mention to what his protest was in relation to. It seems from the Tweet Machine that his protest was about Ryanair. Perhaps there is a charge for protesting at O’Leary’s HQ.
The man came down and was arrested by Gardaí.
I rooted out this Indo report from June 14 1984, when a number of young republicans took to the mast in protest at RTE’s censorship of republican voices. Of course, RTE today is a completely impartial news source and I’m known to be a huge fan.

I am the protester.The protest was done because of the Recruitment for Termination of cabin crew at Ryanair.
Ryanair with agents charge a fee of up to 3000 Euro to train as cabin crew only to terminated these youngs students all over Europe.It must be stopped..David Bonderman the chief and O’Leary need to be shown how to respect and show dignity to ryanair crew…
Thank You
One of the young arrestees was Ronan McLaughlin, who was shot dead by the ERU in 1998.
