Poll: Should the Occupy Dame St camp move for St Patrick's Day?

The campaigners have been asked to leave the Central Bank plaza for the festival weekend. But what do you think?

ACTIVISTS AT THE Occupy Dame Street protest camp have been asked to pack up and leave before the St Patrick’s Day parade through Dublin.
