A protest that only registered with me via the traffic bulletins on the radio yesterday evening. Various public sector workers including firefighters, teachers, administration staff and healthcare workers gathered on Molesworth Street last evening to voice their opposition to recent budget announcements that will affect their pay and entitlements.
I popped up around to have a look on my way home at about 7. From a rough count I could estimate only maybe 100 – 200 people there from the various unions and bodies listening to speeches from their representatives.
A quick flick through RTE, Irish Times and Independent online streams I can’t see anything about it and the news item I read about it on the ASTI website yesterday has disappeared or broken. Odd. Either way, counter goes up.
