Tens of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets of Dublin today to protest against Ireland's austerity plan.

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) organised the march, saying the four-year plan of spending cuts and tax rises, intended to save the country €15bn (£12.7bn), "will do irreparable damage".

They want higher taxes, bank bailouts, and business perks so the rich can continue to prosper while it is the common citizen who has to pay for this.
