Live coverage of Budget day protests

Today will see the greatest budget attack on workers in Ireland in a couple of decades with services and pay being slashed.

It's hardly strange that the vast swathe of angry union members, alledgedly itching for strikes and protests but currently being held back by their union leaders, failed to turn up. There's a gaping plot hole in the lefts narrative. Fair play to those that did turn up though.
