Anti-Brexit demonstration held along Derry-Donegal border

An anti-Brexit protest was held along the Derry-Donegal border this morning.

Organised by the Border Communities Against Brexit campaign group, ‘vehicle go-slow’ demonstrations were held on the Derry-Bridgend border and Lifford bridge.

A number of people attended the Bridgend protest including several Sinn Féin representatives from both sides of the border.

The two demonstrations were part of a nationwide campaign to apply pressure on both British and Irish governments to oppose Britain's withdrawal from the EU.

Speaking at the Lifford protest, Donegal TD Pearse Doherty said that people on both sides of the border were worried about the implications that Brexit would have on border counties like Donegal.

"The Minister of Finance confirmed to me this week that the government is looking at locations to erect customs posts, one of which will most likely be at the other end of this bridge (Lifford side).
