Residents protest over demolition of church

Residents living near Croke Park in Dublin are out in force this afternoon airing their anger at the illegal demolition of an old church.

The historic building on Jones' Road, more recently used as a furniture store, was demolished early Wednesday morning without planning permission.

Structural engineers say it will be several days before the fate of the building - adjacent to the national GAA stadium - is known.

A number of locals, TDs and the Deputy Lord Mayor of Dublin are protesting at the site today.
