Party activist and Cavan Town Council member Brian McKeown, said this is the first such event to be held in Cavan and they plan to stage more during the year. "It affords people a chance to voice their objections," he said.
The money being handed over was being cut from the health services, schools and local services, including garda stations and rural transport, he claimed. "It is being taken from the people in VAT hikes and the new household charge."
