CITY TRADE UNION PROTEST TO GO AHEAD DESPITE PROMISSORY NOTE DEAL

Date Published: 08-Feb-2013

The Galway Council of Trade Unions says tomorrow's city protest will still go ahead despite the progress made on the promissory note deal.

The Galway demonstration is one of six nationwide with its theme "Lift the Burden - Jobs Not Debt".

Organisers say Congress views the promissory note as only one element of the bank debt problem.

The protest gets underway at 1.30 tomorrow from the Cathedral carpark with speeches at the Spanish Arch from 2.

Padraig Mulligan is from Impact Trade Union and says it's an opportunity for the Galway public to speak up for the country's future.
