Village protesters march to the Dáil to demonstrate anger over bailouts

IT was a small but symbolic protest. Members of the community from the north Cork town of Ballyhea marched on the Dáil yesterday to demonstrate their anger at the bondholder bailout.

The march through Dublin city centre and onto Leinster House was the final leg of a four-day journey which began in Ballyhea.

Locals have been marching through their town in peaceful protest against the bailout every Sunday since the beginning of March.
