Occupy protesters vow to step up their campaign

Members of the Occupy Dame St protest last night converged once more on Dublin’s Central Bank with the intention of resurrecting the camp which had been dismantled by gardaí earlier in the day.

Gardaí moved in to remove the shelters at the camp at 3.30am yesterday with one protester arrested on a public order offence.

Some protesters alleged that excessive force was used by gardaí..
