23 people have been arrested and three officers injured, following a protest in Dublin during which fireworks were shot into Garda lines.

One Garda has been hospitalised after it happened this afternoon.

A crowd numbering in the hundreds gathered at the corner of Grafton Street and South King Street around two o'clock, in a rally against the public health restrictions.

Far-right literature and leaflets making false claims about the pandemic were distributed, before fireworks were launched at gardaí.

The Taoiseach says there's "no justification" for protests against the public health restrictions, and the attacks on Gardaí were "thuggish".
