Far-right protesters have erected an anti-transgender banner across a library that was already closed for the weekend in Clare, in an ongoing campaign against LGBT+ books in public libraries.

Similar protests have forced the closure of Cork City Library in recent weeks, but there were no staff or users present in Killaloe on Saturday as the library was closed for the weekend.
