CITY PROTEST OVER ANGLO BONDHOLDERS PAYMENT

Date Published: 25-Jan-2012

A protest is to take place in the city this afternoon in opposition to a 1.2 billion euro payment to bondholders at the former Anglo Irish Bank.

The "Carnival of Resistance" is organised by Occupy Galway who is joining a national campaign calling on the government to reverse today's planned payout.

It follows a similiar protest on Monday where demonstrators gathered outside the former Anglo Irish Bank on Forster Street.

This afternoon's protest gets underway at 1 from Eyre Square.
