March for a Better Way
March for a Better Way was a demonstration held in Dublin on Saturday 27 November 2010 at 11:30 am. Organised by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), it followed Ireland's admission of the EU/ECB/IMF troika.[1][2]
The demonstration was one of the largest to ever take place in Ireland, with an estimated 100,000 people in attendance.[3]
The Irish Independent described it as the largest trade union march of 2010.[4]
The march route was from Wood Quay to the General Post Office on O'Connell Street and 50,000 people participated.[5]
