There were violent scenes in Dublin on Saturday as anti-lockdown protests took place on Grafton Street.

Video footage emerged showing a man shooting fireworks at Gardaí, who are concerned about further protests being planned for this month, including one on St Patrick's Day.

Meanwhile Gardaí had to disperse an estimated 200 people gathered in St Joseph's Cemetery in Rathkeale, Co. Limerick yesterday. The crowd had brought tables, chairs, food and refreshments.
