There have been scuffles and several arrests at a Mothers Against Genocide protest on Westmoreland Street.

Around 50 to 60 people had joined the protest at the old Central Bank plaza on Dame Street, which moved to Westmoreland Street and then to D'Olier Street and Grafton Street, as gardaí prevented them from getting onto the quays, where restrictions are in place due to the European Political Community meeting a the Convention Centre.

Protesters waved Palestine flags and Irish tricolours. One Irish flag carried the slogans - 'EU War Mongers', 'No More War', 'Leave Our Neutrality Alone'.

She said: "I've come out here because I am witnessing every single day murder of little babies in Palestine, in Gaza.

"They're in tents. The tents are soaking wet with floods, and your government and my government are doing nothing about it.

"That's why I've come down from Belfast today to ask you people, what are you doing?"

Chants from the crowd include: "Death, death to the IDF" and "Micheál Martin, you can't hide, you're supporting genocide."
