Businesses lose patience with Occupy campaigners

A group of businesses have launched a campaign to get rid of Occupy Dame Street protesters who have been camped outside the Central Bank for four months.

Frank McQuade, who owns three clothes shops on Fownes St in Dublin’s Temple Bar next to the encampment, has rallied neighbouring shops against the movement, which he claims is driving customers away.

He claims the Occupy movement is risking up to 50 jobs.
