A huge number of people gathered in the centre of Dublin this afternoon
Thousands of people at an anti-racism march in Dublin have been told they are standing up against "hatred and disinformation being spewed out by extremists".
Among the wide variety of groups taking part are United Against Racism, MASI, the National Women’s Council of Ireland, TENI and several political parties. Hotels, B&Bs and refurbished public buildings are being used to house the international protection applicants, though the government has warned it still faces significant challenges.
She said: "Ireland For All is a broad 32-county coalition of activists, grassroots and community groups, NGOs, political parties, trade unions, we are all in this coalition together."We are here to stand up against the hatred and disinformation being spewed out by far-right extremists. "Cost-of-living rise, public health service crisis, public services crisis, racism, ongoing appalling violence against women and girls. It has to end, they have to act now."Whoever, whatever you are. Wherever you come from, we want an Ireland that is welcoming, equal, decent, respectful and kind. We want housing for all, healthcare for all and public services for all."
