During the controversial redevelopment of Georgian buildings at Hume Street and St Stephen's Green in Dublin students have occupied a building in protest and are repairing damage they say was caused to the building by the developers.
Patrick Gallagher visits the building occupied by architecture students and others protesting against the development. On the doorstep Gallagher talks to three young women about what they are doing and why they are here. The first woman is 19 year old Marian Finucane.
