Event

Childcare workers are demonstrating outside the parliament building, Leinster House, in Dublin on Sept. 26. Thousands of childcare providers and parents are calling for increased investment in the sector. Authorities have closed Kildare Street as a security precaution. The demonstration is part of a three-day strike, Sept. 26-28. Further smaller protests are likely in Dublin and other centers nationwide during this period, most likely outside government buildings.

Security personnel will likely deploy to monitor and manage the demonstration. The action could result in some localized road travel disruptions as protest attendees arrive and later depart the area.
