But....

aren't these going to clearly have large identification numbers all over them? Also they'll be very useful for when the Gardai go to arrest some of the thugs that were out attacking peaceful demonstrators. Some of those animals really looked they were going ballistic, so the jackets would be useful.

More Order...Less Law.

the thing about riot gear is that they NEED to see out .. and the thing about throwing paint and flour bombs is that it's practicaly non-violence .

Submit False Tenders

we should submit false tenders in order to prevent this from functioning properly.

That idea is definetly out the window NOW!
Try to understand the Gardai read this site more often than well perhaps anyone else!!

Then submit real tenders - in an open way

I don't reckon a spam attack will do anything too usefull - e-tenders is too generic.

But we should decide openly what level of body armour is appropriate for people in protest situations.
