A protest is taking place outside Roscommon County Council's headquarters today against the 8 million euro revamp of Strokestown. It follows a similar demonstration in Strokestown on Sunday afternoon, which was attended by up to 200 people.
The protesters say they will protest again tomorrow and on Friday, when the local elections take place.
