Anti-Anglo payments group serves papers on Govt

People for Economic Justice, a group opposed to State payment to Anglo Irish Bank, today served legal papers on the Government.

The High Court earlier refused to grant the group an urgent injunction stopping the next €3.1bn transfer to the bank, now called the IBRC.

The judge would not make the order in circumstances where the State was not represented in court.

Unemployed electrician Ben Gilroy and plasterer John Squires say they will pursue justice.

"Everybody thinks we're right…If that doesn’t stand up in the courts, then it doesn't…but that's not going to stop us," said Mr Gilroy.

Mr Squires added: "We all know morally what is right and wrong and this is an injustice against the Irish people.

"Why should we have to pay them back, no more than if I owe you money, why should someone else pay it back?"
