Hundreds forced IBEC in a humiliating walk of shame from the street upto the doors of the Mansion House for their €1300 a table banquet.

Taoiseach Brian Cowen faced an onslaught of people shouting 'scum' as he was ushered in by members of the notorious private security company IRMS, Dublin, June 23rd 2010 while arriving as Guest Speaker to launch the Annual IBEC (Irish Business and Employers Confederation) President's Dinner at Dublin's Mansion House where the first sitting of Dáil Éireann (Irish Parliment) was held in 1919 at which the 'Declaration of Independence' was read by Cathal Brugha President of Dáil Éireann Jan--Apr 1919.

Local campaigns including Cherryorchard Hospital campaigners, anti-poverty campaigners from St Michael's estate, Aengus Ó'Snodaigh TD (Sinn Féin), Kieran Allen (SWP), Paul Hansard (Siptu Activist) and striking Connolly Shoes workers all spoke intermittently as protestors chanted whenever a banqueteer approached the Mansion House.
