Hundreds of people in Donegal are expected to take part in Brexit protests this afternoon as the massive uncertainty over the process continues.
The main focus of the rallies, organised by Border Communities Against Brexit (BCAB), is to protest against the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, hard or soft, on April 12.
The rallies are among six taking place along the border.
Sinn Féin Senator Padraig MacLochlainn has voiced his support for the BCAB protests, which will take place at various locations along the border this afternoon at 3pm.
The Donegal-based Senator said: “I would encourage everyone to make their way to the border this weekend in protest against Brexit. Brexit poses a huge threat to jobs, our border communities, and the two economies on this island.
“A majority of people in the north voted to remain and the Tories along with the DUP are ignoring this democratic mandate. Our rights, economy and agreements must be protected.
“The antics on display at Westminster show clearly the complete disregard the British government has for Ireland, especially our border communities. Join us tomorrow and take a stand against Brexit.”
Further uncertainty over Brexit was thrown in question yesterday when British MPs rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement for the third time.
A European Council meeting has now been scheduled for April 10 following the rejection of the agreement.
