Occupy Belfast protesters carry on camping at St Anne's Cathedral - Northern Ireland, Local & National - Belfasttelegraph.co.uk

Occupy Belfast protesters carry on camping at St Anne's Cathedral - Northern Ireland, Local & National - Belfasttelegraph.co.uk: "Galway woman Stiofinin Furlong (20), an Occupy Belfast organiser, said: “I just couldn't do nothing, our accident and emergency departments are shutting, university fees are going up, we are paying for the mistakes of the banks.”

At the side of Writers’ Square 17 tents, two gazebos and a few log burners make up the camp.

In contrast to claims of heavy-handedness in New York, and legal threats in London, the Belfast contingent seem to be having an untroubled time.

Ms Furlong said: “All of the food, heaters, firewood, everything, has been donated by the people of Belfast and without them we wouldn't be here.”"
