Students protest against Garda actions

MORE than 350 students last night took part in a peaceful protest in Dublin against what they saw as Garda brutality during last week’s march to oppose third level fees.

In an event organised by two groups “free education for everyone” and “students in solidarity”, the students gathered beside the Wolfe Tone statue in St Stephen’s Green at 6pm before marching for 40 minutes along a route through Dawson Street and stopping at Pearse Street Garda station.

There was a light garda presence during the protest.
