The Irish Democratic Party said there are 39 cases listed for Tullamore Circuit Court this morning beginning at 10.30am. The campaigners planned to be outside the court with a banner reading - ‘Stop Evictions Now - A Fair and Sustainable Solution Must be Found for Every Homeowner.’ 

After the protest at the courthouse, the campaigners plan to walk through Tullamore, stopping outside each of the banks.
