Hundreds of Irish patriots gathered at Connolly Station this afternoon for a national rally protesting mass migration, government policies, and the upcoming presidential election. The peaceful assembly, billed as “Ireland Under Invasion,” kicked off at 2pm, with marchers heading toward the iconic General Post Office (GPO) on O’Connell Street, a historic site symbolizing Irish resistance.
Organizers, including figures from nationalist groups, voiced frustration over immigration levels and perceived democratic failures, urging participants to “spoil your vote” in rejection of establishment candidates. Chants of “Ireland is rising” echoed as tricolour flags waved, with live streams capturing the event’s energy.
Gardaí managed traffic diversions, suspending Luas services between Connolly and Smithfield, while Dublin Bus accommodated affected passengers. No arrests were reported, though tensions simmered amid broader anti-immigration sentiments seen in recent Dublin demonstrations.
The rally highlights ongoing debates over sovereignty and policy, with participants decrying “useless” leadership. As the march dispersed, calls for accountability lingered in the capital’s streets.
