Two arrested as far-right protesters shouted chants against transgender rights, migration and planned hate speech laws
Protesters took mock gallows and photographs of high-profile politicians to a demonstration outside Leinster House as the Dáil returned following the summer recess.
The gallows, which featured an effigy of a man hanging from a noose, was adorned with portraits of politicians including Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald. Images of enterprise minister Simon Coveney, education minister Norma Foley and minister for children Roderic O’Gorman also accompanied the display.
