Eleven people have been arrested and a number of others fined for failing to comply with public health guidelines at an anti-lockdown protest in Dublin, gardai said. Up to 150 anti-lockdown demonstrators marched through Dublin on Saturday over the ongoing country-wide restrictions. Gardaí used prison-style vans and uniformed officers to block the east and west ends of the quay, leaving the protestors trapped. OrganisersEarlier, as an estimated 200 anti-lockdown protesters gathered in the Phoenix Park, nobody to whom The Irish Times spoke would acknowledge organising the protest. A man carrying a placard which read “vakcina macht frei” said the words meant “vaccines set you free”.
