Two men charged for public order offences following pro-Palestine demonstrations

Protestors gathered outside Irishtown Garda Station demanding the release of the two men

Two men have been charged with public order offences following pro-Palestine protests in Dublin city centre.

Gardaí said the two men were arrested this afternoon and later charged.

They will appear before court at a later date.

It is understood the two men were arrested after the National Demonstration for Palestine, which saw over thousands march from Parnell Street to St Stephen’s Green.

Some continued protesting on Grafton Street and Nassau Street, where it is understood the two men were arrested.

After learning the two men were brought to Irishtown Garda Station, some protestors went to the station to demand their release.

Some attempted to enter the station but were removed by Gardaí, who then blocked the entrance.

Chants by protestors at the station included “Let them out”, “Drew Harris RUC”, and “Who’s cops? Israel’s cops”.
