Locals in Scarriff in Co Clare are the latest to stave off protesters who are travelling the Shannon by boat in an ongoing campaign against LGBT+ books in public libraries.

Similar protests forced the closure of Cork City Library in recent weeks, while Limerick City Library and the library in Killaloe — which was closed for the weekend — were targeted over the weekend.
