More than a dozen costofliving protests will take place around the country today.
More than a dozen protests across 11 counties have been organised for today by the Cost of Living Coalition.
The aim is to call on the government to take"radical action" regarding energy prices, cost of food, sky-high rents and more.Sinn Féin TD Claire Kerrane told Newstalk that the budget failed to deliver real change that people need. "The main aim of this weekend is to send a strong message to government that what they've announced in relation to the Budget and the cost of living package they announced, it has not been enough and it's not going to be enough", she said."We know that the supports that are needed aren't there."
Eight protests are planned for Dublin alone, with locations including Ringsend, Dún Laoighre, Finglas and Rathmines. Nationwide, protests will take place in counties Cork, Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Wexford, Waterford, Carlow, Wicklow and Tipperary.
