Man 'attempts to ram gates of Leinster House'

The front gates of the Leinster House were rammed with a cement mixer truck today as members returned after their lengthy summer recess.

The words “Toxic Bank Anglo” were written in red letters along the barrel of the truck, which hit the guarded gates of the Dáil at Leinster House on Kildare Street, Dublin, at around 7.15am.
