Anti-austerity protest spreads from Dáil to quays in Dublin
[comment].[/comment]
An anti-austerity protest is continuing on Dublin's O'Connell Bridge, blocking traffic on the quays.
About 300 protestors are involved there while several hundred people are staging a protest outside Leinster House.
A variety of groups, who say they are against austerity, are taking part in the day-long protest as the Dáil reconvenes after its summer break.
There's a heavy garda presence in the area with access to the Kildare Street entrance of Leinster House restricted, and Molesworth Street closed to traffic.
