Thousands protested at the weekend in London and Madrid over Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. As Irish cases increase, it would be unsurprising if the protests seen here gained greater traction, though the scale may not be as significant.

That there has been a marked difference in responses to level three restrictions in Dublin and Donegal signals a growing impatience in our capital. Traffic volumes on the M50, fell by as little as 2% after level three restrictions imposed on September 18 came into effect.
