O'Connell Street closed to traffic due to anti-migrant protest

James Cox

An anti-migrant protest on O'Connell Street has led to traffic being blocked while Dublin Bus is re-routed.

A number of buses have been blocked due to protesters gathering on the street.

Protesters have signs relating to Monday's knife attack in Belfast, while others are carrying tricolours. Others have claimed the protest is against the EU Migration Pact, but there appears to be little organisation to it.

There is a large Garda presence near the Spire and the GPO where the protestes first congregated.
