The Green Line of the Luas is not running past St Stephen's Green to the north of the city due to the disruption. Several bus companies said they were experiencing delays due to the blockade of the bridge, causing significant traffic backups throughout the capital. Multiple public order units have been deployed near O'Connell Bridge, and a garda helicopter is actively monitoring the situation overhead, indicating the seriousness of the protests.
Earlier, anti-immigration protesters walked through Dublin towards the Dáil after gathering outside the GPO on O'Connell Street, carrying tricolor flags and banners proclaiming "Erin Go Bragh" and "You'll Never Beat the Irish." Their chants included "Whose streets? Our streets" as they firmly expressed their stance, while police maintained a visible presence with barriers to prevent any escalation near the parliament gates.
