Dozens of demonstrators turned out for a protest in Dublin city centre today following the killing of 33 year-old Sarah Everard in London.

This was despite health officials advising against any gatherings.

Those attending attempted to stay 2 metres apart, and all wore face masks.

But gardai took details of those who attended due to restrictions around non-essential travel.

Former TD Ruth Coppinger says this was not needed: "We have the street marked out, this is one of the widest streets in the country, people are wearing face coverings, people are socially distancing, people are being extremely safe, it's not a huge protest, it's for a limited duration."

The Dublin gathering was the first in a series of planned “Reclaim the Streets” demonstrations by ROSA.

Further protests are due to be held in Cork, Limerick and Galway on Thursday.
