Video from Daíl Protest

'I'm sick of being one of the sheep'- watch why people took to the streets to protest last night in the rain.

Thousands took to the streets to protest at the bailout of the banks and at the jobs crisis in Ireland. Watch some of the speeches, listen to the views of some of the protestors.
John Bisset a veteran campaigner for social justice was particularly scathing of the role of the media in backing up the propaganda war on workers, women, the poor, the disabled and the vulnerable. There were some scuffles at the Daíl where people tried to get in.

Speakers included Fintan O'Toole (Irish Times), Jeanette Byrne (Patients Together), Siobhan O'Donoghue (Community Workers Co-op), John Kidd (Siptu Firefighters), Cllr Richard Boyd Barrett (People Before Profit), Professor Kathleen Lynch (UCD), Ruadhan MacAodhán (Sinn Féin) and John Bisset from the Canals Communities Project.

We will have to be the people to take it (power) of them if we have to pull their fucking fingernails off them.
