Calls For People Behind Anti-Immigration Protests In Coolock To 'Take A Step Back'

Three Gardaí were injured last night

There are calls for people behind anti-immigration protests in Coolock in Dublin to 'take a step back'.

Three Gardaí were injured last night and one was hospitalised - after violence broke out following an earlier PEACEFUL protest by over a thousand people.

The Garda Public Order Unit was deployed and a section of the Malahide Road closed briefly, after objects were thrown at Gardaí by members of the crowd.

One man was arrested - he's since been released without charge.

Local Labour MEP Aodhán Ó Ríordáin says people are entitled to protest but the message is getting lost in the violence.
