Vigils held around the country in memory of George Nkencho

Protesters walk to Pearse Street Garda Station in Dublin for George Nkencho, who was shot multiple times by gardaí outside his home in Clonee, west Dublin, on Wednesday.

Low-key candlelit vigils have been held around the country in remembrance of George Nkencho, the 27-year-old black man shot dead by armed gardaí on Wednesday.

Events were held on Dublin’s O’Connell Street, on Galway’s Eyre Square and in Waterford city, not in protest, but to remember a life, according to one speaker in Dublin.
