Donegal assistant manager Rory Gallagher was among around 6,000 people are attending a rally in Ballyconnell, Co Cavan, in support of bankrupt businessman Seán Quinn and his family.
The rally was organised by a group called Concerned Irish Citizens.
Last July, a rally in the town was attended by thousands of people, including several prominent figures from the GAA.
Mr Quinn, his son Seán Quinn Jnr and his nephew Peter Darragh Quinn, have been before the High Court in recent months in relation to debts owed to the former Anglo Irish Bank.
This afternoon’s rally is taking place while Seán Quinn Jnr remains in prison in Dublin after being found to be in contempt of court.
He was jailed in July for breaching court orders, trying to stop an elaborate scheme to put up to €500m worth of property assets beyond the reach of Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, formerly Anglo Irish Bank.
Seán Quinn Jnr received a prison sentence along with his cousin Peter Darragh Quinn, who lives in Co Fermanagh and cannot be extradited to the Republic of Ireland on a civil conviction.
Seán Quinn, who was also found guilty of contempt of court in July, is due back in the High Court next Friday.
