The car of the Tánaiste has been egged at an engagement in Dublin.
Irish socialist republican political party Eirigi were behind the protest.
They held placards and shouted obscenities at Mr. Gilmore.
He was attending the UNICEF Ireland launch of  their Children’s Referendum campaign in Ballyfermot.

Eirigi flags were also waved in front of the vehicle.
