A protest has been held at Glasnevin Cemetery after a decision to “discontinue” a memorial wall that would have marked the deaths of British soldiers, civilians and IRA volunteers killed during the years of the Irish revolution.

The small protest, attended by the families of some of the civilians who died during the period as well as RTÉ broadcaster Joe Duffy, came after the Dublin Cemeteries Trust made the decision following repeated acts of vandalism at the wall.
