In pictures: Unlock NAMA occupation of building in Dublin city centre

A NEW CAMPAIGNING group yesterday took over a property they said was owned by the National Asset Management Agency and opened it up to the public.

Unlock NAMA’s occupation of the building on Great Strand Street in Dublin’s north inner city came to an abrupt end when gardaí cleared the premises yesterday afternoon.

Activists have said that they will continue to identify buildings owned by NAMA and highlight how they could be used by the public for social and community purposes.

In the meantime, here’s a round-up of the best photographs from yesterday’s occupation:
