Over a thousand people have held a protest in Dublin City Centre this afternoon, in opposition to the Government’s plan to introduce further cutbacks in next month’s budget.
The anti – austerity demonstration comes as reports today suggest that for the first time ever, the budget will be delivered over two days, instead of just one.
