‘What do we want?’ one man roared. There was no response, an almost comedic vacuum of clarity
‘What do we want?’ one man roared. There was a pause and then no response. Eventually they settled on a chant: ‘Sinn Féin are traitors’
“Ireland needs a referendum on mass migration,” one man shouted. Calls for a referendum were repeated in chants throughout the march. “We demand our land, our country, our sovereignty,” someone shouted outside Trinity College. “Defund the NGOs,” a new chant went. “Get them f***ing out!” someone shouted. “Get the bastards out.” “No passport, no entry,” another roar went.
A call went up for a sit-down protest at O’Connell Bridge. But this was a disorganised bunch. A disagreement broke out, with some protesters demanding they continue to the GPO. Others resisted, saying it was a much better tactic to block traffic on the bridge and the north quays. An ambulance struggled to get through. There was singing and dancing, jolliness and hugging, handshakes and camaraderie.
