M&S hit by product protests

MARKS & SPENCER is monitoring security arrangements at its Irish stores after “direct action” protests by pro-Palestinian protesters in Dublin and Belfast.

A protest last Saturday in Belfast saw members of the fringe Republican group Eirígí load up shopping trolleys with Israeli goods and exit the store.

While in Dublin on Thursday evening protesters abandoned full shopping trolleys at checkouts while handing out letters calling for a boycott of the store due to its supposed support of Israel.
