Sinn Féin is holding pickets and protests at 25 venues nationwide, in town centres and outside Government Ministers' constituency offices.

"The actions are part of the campaign to stop the education cutbacks," said Mr O Snodaigh.
"It will include pickets on the constituency offices of Government Ministers and protests, petitions and information stalls in towns and cities across the state."
Protests will across staged in Dublin, Donegal, Louth, Laois, Offaly, Meath, Cork, Clare, Sligo and Galway.
