Yikes!
The last Allsop auction, in July, was cancelled due to a large protest, which included Ben Gilroy, top left, and Tom D’Arcy, top right.
Conor Pope, of the Irish Times, reported at the time:
“An Allsop Space property auction in the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin had to be cancelled yesterday following a protest staged by a number of groups who said they were angry at the sale of family homes repossessed by banks.”
“As soon as the auction started at 9.45am, a man got to his feet and started protesting about the sale of a pub in Newtoncashel, Co Longford. He appealed to buyers not to bid on any more of the items which were up for sale.”
…
“(A spokesman) told The Irish Times that security at the auction was “obviously inadequate” and said a decision on where to hold subsequent auctions had yet to be made.”
Ah.
