Dozens of demonstrators have turned out for a protest in Dublin city centre today following the killing of 33-year-old Sarah Everard in London.
This was despite health officials advising against any gatherings. Protestors making their voices heard at a demonstration in Dublin organised by feminist group Rosa to remember Sarah Everard.
Those attending attempted to stay 2 metres apart, and all wore face masks. But gardai still took details of those who attended due to restrictions around non-essential travel.
Former TD Ruth Coppinger says this was not needed. The Dublin gathering was the first in a series of planned “Reclaim the Streets” demonstrations by ROSA. Further protests are due to be held in Cork, Limerick and Galway on Thursday.

A few dozen protestors here. Almost as many gards + media.
