Hundreds of people attended a protest against racism at the GPO in Dublin city centre this afternoon to counter an “increase in far-right activity”.

The protest was held at almost exactly the same time as a gathering of anti-migration protestors who marched on the offices of a number of media outlets and said they are not far right or racist but are "concerned citizens" who "want our country back".
