Event

Multiple protests have been reported near the East Wall and North Wall neighborhoods of Dublin late Dec. 8. Protesters have reportedly gathered to denounce the hosting of refugees in a nearby asylum center. Activists have blocked several thoroughfares in the city, including parts of Amiens Street, North Wall Quay, and Samuel Beckett Bridge, disrupting bus services in the area.

Authorities will likely maintain a high security presence in the affected area until the gatherings end and the demonstrators disperse. Lingering disruptions to transit services are possible over the coming hours.
