Should get the letter first or be shot first?
It seems to be a waste of state resourced to send the letter after shooting them. That in turn cold lead to more protests about waste and well, we'd end up with a bloodbath.
Protests...enough is enough

Well bullets are pretty expensive and I think these are reasonable people. A strongly worded letter from Enda should get them thinking about their actions. If not, the special branch might need to start getting serious and invest in good video cameras so there will be film footage on file rather than just still shots.
That will give those real IRA thugs something to think about.
If the cost of bullets is an issue we could always use bayonets. The dramatic effect would also be greater.
Alternatively we could crucify them along the M50 (or since that would cause traffic jams due to rubber-necking maybe we could use the M9 as it's virtually unused).
Crucifixion may be a little bit extreme. Maybe we could just kill them and save crucifixion for second offences.
Yea, wasters... no wonder the whole thing fell apart on them.
But then we would have splinters of wood being carried around by the comrades in mini shrines. Relics would be traded on eBay. I would not be in to the jewel encrusted boxes at all. I would much prefer the plain Maple wood type, maybe with a bit of inlay.
I really didn't know much about the Dail protest until a few days before it happened but I too support the ideal of a Dail protest even if I could not quite grasp what the objective was.
Anyway I am friendly enough with my local TD. He is relatively new in the Dail and I have known him for years, mainly through sport. He told me that the powers-that-be were genuinely nervous about the protests and what they could trigger. They know there is anger out there waiting to be tapped. He said they (not him) had discussed it at cabinet level a few times. He also said they were delighted with the outcome and then he laughed at the resulting bad press it received and some of the loons that turned up. I wasn't overly impressed that he laughed and we argued the rights and wrongs of it for a bit.
?? The idiots protesting on the day in question were subversives. How else would you explain the Brits out placards?
