Access to O'Connell Street in Dublin city centre has been blocked by a protest this afternoon. Protesters, who were seen waving Irish flags, planned to march to Leinster House on Kildare Street in Dublin 2. It comes on the first day of the Dáil resuming after the summer break. Therefore, Kildare Street remains closed off due to possible protests and will reopen at midnight on Wednesday.

NUJ assistant general secretary Seamus Dooley said journalists were being killed because they were recording what was happening in Gaza. "We gather in anger, we gather in sorrow. "But above all else we gather in solidarity, solidarity with those who have been murdered because they were journalists." He added: "That record of the Israeli government is an indictment, and we will never forget that. "We demand an end to be killing. We demand a ceasefire."
