Call to put bankers and politicians ‘in the dock’

SOCIALIST MEP Joe Higgins led a small group of protesters outside Anglo Irish Bank yesterday calling for political party leaders to be “put in the dock” alongside the troubled bank’s shamed former bosses.

Curious onlookers watched from the rails of St Stephen’s Green as a few dozen protesters chanted outside Anglo’s headquarters in Dublin.

Mr Higgins alleged the actions of chief bankers had been “criminal” and called on the people to fight back and force a general election.
