Two people were arrested earlier today after a pro-Palestine protest group attempted to break through a garda cordon securing access to Dublin Port. A statement from Garda Headquarters said the use of pepper spray followed “a coordinated and concerted effort” to breach the garda line. The Dublin Port protest followed Thursday’s demonstration, which blocked traffic for hours and angered truck drivers and other road users. “As the public gathering moved towards Dublin Port Tunnel this afternoon a garda cordon was established to prevent a protest blocking the Port Tunnel in order to maintain traffic movement through key infrastructure (Dublin Port Tunnel and the M50). “Two individuals have been arrested for public order offences and have been brought to garda stations in the Dublin region.”Following further engagement, gardaí said the protest was dispersed, and no injuries were reported.
