Rally Supporting Asylum Seekers Takes Place In South Dublin

A rally has been taking place in Dun Laoghaire in Dublin in support of refugees and asylum seekers this afternoon.

Students' unions, trade unions and political parties have been participating in solidarity with migrants.

It comes after a series of protests and attacks directed against those seeking asylum in Dun Laoghaire and Ballybrack.

Meanwhile Gardaí say three men have been charged for public order offences during a demonstration in Ballybrack in south Dublin last night.

Two of the men appeared before the Criminal Courts of Justice this morning, with the third male bailed to appear in court at a later date.
