Protest Set To Block N7 In Opposition To Citywest Hotel Purchase

The organisers say their aim is to cause maximum disruption as a way to raise their concerns regarding the purchase of the hotel by the government.

Motorists have been advised to expect major disruptions this afternoon due to a planned protest planned in Citywest and Saggart.

It is expected to start at 3.15pm, with plans for vehicles to loop through Saggart Village before stalling on three lanes on the N7 for thirty minutes.

It's in an effort to stop the government buying the Citywest Hotel.

The organisers say their aim is to cause maximum disruption as a way to raise their concerns regarding the purchase of the hotel by the government.

The government is understood to be aiming to buy the complex for 100 million euro, in order to significantly expand accommodation for asylum seekers on the site.
