On Saturday 31st March, over 3,000 from across the country packed into the National Stadium for a rally against the proposed Household Tax. Such was the crowd that the hall soon filled and people had to come together in the cark park and speakers gave their speeches outside too.
Speakers on the day included: Joan Collins TD (pictured below), Richard Boyd Barrett TD (pictured above), Joe Higgins TD, Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan TD, Clare Daly TD, Cllr Brid Smith, Jimmy Kelly (Unite Trade Union) and speakers from a variety of other campaigns such as Vita Cortex.
On the same say 2,500 people marched in Donegal, 1,000 in Longford and thousands in other areas such as in Kerry.
There is a protest planned for next Saturday at the Fine Gael Ard Fheis.
