"An Garda Síochána today implemented a proportionate operation to police a number of public gatherings which took place in Dublin City Centre. "Two separate public gatherings took place, one which assembled on O'Connell Street and one which assembled on Parnell Square and marched to the Custom House Quay. "Over 300 members of An Garda Síochána were on duty in Dublin City Centre. "Following the events on Custom House Quay a small group attempted to cause further traffic disruption in Dublin City Centre."
"Today a significant policing operation was deployed in Dublin City Centre. Gardaí had to police a challenging environment with a number of public gatherings organised and attended by persons with divergent and opposing views whilst also managing the rights of citizens to enjoy the amenity that is Dublin City Centre. "Despite the challenging environment and the intensity of opposing interactions, particularly on O’Connell street, the events passed off primarily peacefully."Main image via Sasko Lazarov/RollingNews.ie
