Two juveniles among five new Jobstown protest arrests

Gardaí have arrested five people in West Dublin in connection with the Jobstown protest last November in which the Tánaiste was confined to her car for more than two hours.

Two juveniles and three adults were arrested in the early hours of this morning.

They are being held at stations in Crumlin, Rathfarnham and Tallaght under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.

Another four arrested this morning, including two minors and a #AAA activist. This is extremely serious. All out - 6.30pm @ Dept of Justice.
