“We will be sending to a very clear message that the people of the border region and, indeed, the people of Ireland will not acquiesce in any construction of new border installations, Customs posts or on any restriction of movement in their own country.”
Border Communities against Brexit in Ireland are planning a major anti-Brexit protest for various points on the border through Ireland on Saturday 30 March.
These mobilisations will take place at border crossings at: Old Dublin Road, Carrickcarnon; Belcoo-Blacklion; Aghalane; Moybridge, Aughnacloy; Lifford Bridge; and Bridgend.
"We are asking everyone living along the border, on either side, to make an effort to attend their nearest demonstration," they said in a Facebook post.
Activists added: “We are calling on all trade unions, representative groups, civic leaders and citizens to join with us in demonstrating our anger at being taken out of the EU and our opposition to any return to a hard border in Ireland.”
Border Communities against Brexit continued: “We will be sending to a very clear message that the people of the border region and, indeed, the people of Ireland will not acquiesce in any construction of new border installations, Customs posts or on any restriction of movement in their own country.
We will not tolerate any new hard border in Ireland. It is time to make your voice heard. It is time for action. It is time to protest.”
