A demonstration has been announced against the arrest of people in connection with the protest which saw the Tánaiste Joan Burton trapped in her car last November.

Organisers say a total of 23 people have been arrested over the Jobstown anti-water demonstration with no charges yet brought forward.

They claim the arrests are 'political policing' and designed to 'criminalise' anti-austerity campaigners.

The protest takes place on Saturday at 2pm at the Central Bank in Dublin.

Socialist TD Paul Murphy, who was himself arrested in connection with the events in Jobstown, says it is about free speech.
