Thousands of people are taking part in a pro-Palestine protest in Dublin calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
The demonstrators are marching from the Garden of Remembrance in Parnell Square to the Department of Foreign Affairs on St Stephen’s Green, where a rally is being held.
The ‘National Demonstration for Palestine’ has been organised by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
It is the latest in a series of marches in the capital since Israel launched an assault on Gaza following the 7 October Hamas attacks.
The IPSC is calling an end to what it describes as “Israel’s genocidal assault on the people of Gaza” and for the Irish Government to take action to hold Israel accountable.
The organisers say the march is being supported by more than 120 civil society organisations.
Political parties, trade unions, students and are among those taking part in the protest, while community groups have also travelled to Dublin from across the country, including Cork and Donegal.
Protesters are also calling for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland.
