Dublin protests paycuts. 80 Thousand people part 2

This is purely a rough upload for keep sakes. Sorry about all the noise and bad quality it was taken on my phone. Caught the start of it going past trinity. Followed it all the way to O'Connell st. Apparently I've lost the other half which i followed it from the back to the front and caught the speech as well. More then likely it was too big for the memory card and somehow got deleted. Ended up in Merrion Square.

Thousands of workers around the country have taken to the streets in a series of marches to protest against proposed Government cuts in pay and services.

Rallies were held in Dublin, Cork, Dundalk, Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Tullamore and Waterford.

The main march in Dublin left Parnell Square and proceeded down O'Connell Street, around College Green and on to Merrion Square for a large rally.
