The reason the little parish of Ballyhea had to go above the Irish Government's heads is because they are not doing it. Please watch it if you liked any of my previous documentaries and share it and help force the mainstream media to cover their story this time. They are fighting for you and have helped to inspire "Says No" weekly marches all over the Republic of Ireland. They are a non political group of ordinary people who have marched under one banner for over 132 weeks every Sunday against the bank debt.
