Ballyhea protest group takes fight against bailout to Brussels

The Ballyhea protest group took their battle to write down Ireland’s banking debt to the European Commission and one of the key people in the troika.

The protesters have been holding weekly marches in Ballyhea since Mar 6, 2011, to demonstrate their anger at the bank bailout.

They brought with them to Europe a small bag of letters with people’s stories, telling how the cuts in government spending were affecting them — from a woman with multiple sclerosis to a couple with aspecial needs child.
