East Wall protesters plan 'maximum traffic disruption' with plan to block Amiens Street today

Maximum traffic disruption is being planned for today (Wednesday) by a group of protesters who claim asylum seekers being housed at a former ESB office block in Dublin’s East Wall are being accommodated as “in-tolerable”.

The East Wall Committee who are into their fourth week of protests over the “inappropriate housing” of 380 men, women and children have called on Amnesty International to carry out inspections.

The protesters have now decided to move their traffic blockades from the Port Tunnel to the iconic Five Lamps in Amiens Street - one of the busiest commuter routes in the city centre.
