Protesters march 160km to Dáil in anger over cuts

FOUR men protesting over the economic crisis took in the sites of Ireland’s patriot past yesterday as they ended a 160km march at the Dáil.

The men started at Kilmainham Gaol and went on to the scene of Robert Emmet’s execution before hundreds of supporters joined them at the GPO and a picket at Leinster House.

John Kavanagh, Stephen Tobin and father and son, Ned and Dermot Murray, trekked four days from south Kilkenny in anger over tough budget measures.
