Gardaí are monitoring the activities of various right-wing groups and individuals who they believe are trying to fuel and exploit local ‘anti-refugee’ protests.

In the latest incident, crowds gathered outside a school in South-West Dublin on Tuesday and Wednesday evening after information was circulated that refugees were being housed inside it.
