A protest in Dublin last night against the proposed vaccine pass for indoor dining is being described as an effort to "intimidate" President Michael D Higgins.

Around 1,000 people took part in the demonstration at the Phoenix Park near Áras an Uactaráin calling on the president not to sign legislation passed by TDs on Wednesday to allow for the reopening of indoor dining.
