PICS: The March From Apollo House To The Dept Of Finance Is Underway

Large crowds gathered outside Apollo House this afternoon to march to the Department of Finance on Upper Merrion Street.

The aim of the march, organised by Home Sweet Home and the Irish Housing Network, is to urge the Department of Finance to make NAMA-owned properties available for social housing.

Residents, activists and supporters have now set out from Apollo House and are en route to Merrion Street.
