Gardaí order 70 'Unlock NAMA' protesters to leave building
Gardaí have ordered 70 people to vacate a NAMA building in Dublin city centre, which they occupied this morning.
No arrests were made, although gardaí had warned that anyone who failed to leave the building could be charged under the Public Order Act.
Members of the 'Unlock NAMA' campaign say they were holding a day of talks and events about NAMA, the first of their campaign.
They described the campaign as a great success and pledged to hold another event soon.
Mick O’Broin of the Unlock NAMA campaign said they had a right to be in the building, because the public had paid for it.
"NAMA issued €32bn of bonds which are guaranteed by the Irish Government, (therefore) by the Irish people. The buildings NAMA holds have been transfereed to NAMA on that basis," he said.
"We would argue these buildings rightfully belong to us and we should be able to use them."
