There's a huge Garda presence outside Leinster House today as the Budget is revealed inside.
Senior Gardaí say it's to ensure that any protests held go off peacefully.
While it’s not known if there will be any protests outside Leinster House today, the Gardai are not taking any chances.
The understanding is that there will be upwards of two hundred members of the force here today.
Three weeks ago when politicians returned from the summer recess, a right-wing protest outside the Dail turned nasty, and there where thirteen arrests.
