Protesters Force Closure Of Bank Of Ireland Branch
A Dublin branch of the Bank of Ireland closed its doors yesterday afternoon after a group of protestors took over the lobby.
Seven members of the Occupy Dame Street protest group entered the lobby of the Bank of Ireland on O’Connell Street in Dublin at around 13:30 on Monday.
They erected posters stating that they were protesting, on behalf of the Irish people, the “handover” of €1.175 billion to bondholders.
The same protest had set up camp outside the Central Bank for five months until March last.
Gardaí arrived shortly after and the front doors of the bank were locked. A spokeswoman for the bank said it took the decision to close for the remainder of yesterday in order to protect staff and customers.
