Gardaí have plans in place for a scheduled anti-mask protest in Dublin this afternoon amid uncertainty as to whether the event is going ahead or not.

Yellow Vest Ireland, a populist movement highly critical of lockdown measures, had arranged a “Time For Action” protest today, describing it as a follow up to its “Time For Change” protest in Dublin on October 3, during which a sit-down was staged on Grafton Street.
