A number of independent rural TDs are occupying a KBC Bank office in Dublin.
They say they're taking the action to highlight what they call the "distressing" lack of engagement by the bank with customers who are having trouble making repayments.
Among the protesters are TDs Mattie McGrath, Michael Collins and Carol Nolan.
They say they won't leave the premises on Lower Baggot Street until they get written assurances from the bank's CEO that he will meet with them to discuss their concerns.
