Gardai are investigating a potential breach of Covid-19 regulations during an anti-racism demonstration which took place in Dublin city centre yesterday afternoon.
Concerns had been raised about social distancing following the rally in which thousands of people marched from the GPO on O'Connell Street to the US Embassy in Ballsbridge in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States.
Under current restrictions large gatherings are not allowed and social distancing should be maintained at all times. In a statement released this evening, gardaí said that organisers had made attempts to put in place social distancing measures on O'Connell Street where the protest began.
