Ballyhea Says No was a protest movement[1] based in the north County Cork townland and parish of Ballyhea. Each week after 11 AM Sunday Mass,[2] and between Sunday 6 March 2011 (the weekend after the general election that overturned years of Fianna Fáil rule and brought a Fine Gael-Labour coalition to power) and Sunday 8 March 2020 when the final protest march took place, residents protested against the bailout of unidentified bondholders by the Irish state.[3][4]
A prominent spokesperson for the movement was its founder, sportswriter Diarmuid O'Flynn, creator of the Bondwatch blog[5] in which he documented bank bailout payments as they happened. Among those to have offered their public support for the ideals of the movement were the economists Constantin Gurdgiev and Stephen Kinsella,[6] as well a numerous other public figures.[7][8][9][10][11]
