THOUSANDS ARE EXPECTED to march in Dublin this afternoon in protest against the EU/IMF bailout and austerity programme in Ireland.
The Enough Campaign has the support of trade unions, TDs, political organisations such as the Socialist Workers Party, and groups seeking to maintain public sector services that have been affected by austerity measures .
One of the TDs involved in the march, People Before Profit’s Richard Boyd-Barrett told the Irish Times:
We are absolutely determined to mobilise mass opposition to this economic madness over the coming weeks and bring the spirit of Greek, Spanish and for that matter Egyptian style resistance to this country.
Protesters will meet at the Garden of Remembrance in Parnell Square in Dublin at 2pm to march for what it says are jobs, fairness and democracy, a bailing out of people and not bankers, and a scrapping of the EU/IMF deal.
If you are attending the march today submit your pictures for inclusion in a slideshow we will run later today.

Big Irish community around Woodside, hope all are OK
Irish – or not. I agree.
I lived in woodside for 4 years , sunnyside and woodside are very big irish communities. I really hop all is ok
When will society learn that trains are deathtraps and need to be banned. Enough is enough!
Airoplanes are worse….
They go missing…….
I remember at least one sap demanding they put barriers and doors on every platform. Where’s the Oprah Mom brigade when you need them?
barriers and doors work in London why not new York or any other station , any new station should have them and then retro fit them there not expensive and can save lives
Yeah they have them at the stations in London with big passenger numbers. The station for the o2 Arena/millennium dome at Greenwich has them. Work very well when dealing with big crowds on the platform.
yeah lets hope all the injured were American or some other nationality sure they don’t matter.
have your say
