Ireland: Anti-immigration activists to demonstrate at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin, May 6
Anti-immigration activists to protest at Garden of Remembrance in Dublin, Ireland, from 14:30 May 6. Heightened security, possible scuffles.
Anti-immigration activists are planning to protest in the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin from 14:30 May 6. The activist groups will denounce government policies and demand increased controls on immigration. Around 1,000 people attended a previous demonstration in early February, at which police arrested 11 protesters for public order offences. Sources estimate low thousands of attendees will likely take part May 6; local authorities will most likely deploy heightened security to the event.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Low-level scuffles may occur between demonstrators and law enforcement officers. Counter-protests are possible.
Avoid the affected areas as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the demonstration sites. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
