[QUOTE="scolairebocht, post: 119847, member: 8"] [ATTACH type="full"]6647[/ATTACH] To recap, the Department of Education, which has its national offices here in the eastern end of Athlone, owns an extensive green field site which is suddenly been turned into a huge migrant centre, pretty much overnight and without any planning permission. The locals held a meeting in a hotel in Athlone on Tuesday but in the absence of any good news have decided to step up the protests, particularly from last Friday. So now they are on the job from about 5am to 10 pm everyday, trying to prevent the construction workers and equipment from getting in and out. These vehicles are coming and going, but only with difficulty and under Garda escort, hence the Public Order Unit (one of whom must be over 7 foot tall) has been there all day today, Monday 11th Nov 2024. So basically the opposition in Athlone is increasing somewhat and they are also getting more determined in their picketing of this entrance as well. Its good news then but they are under a lot of pressure, some of the vehicles are even driven at speed and they could really do with any help they can get. [/QUOTE]
