A protest by farmers is continuing in Dublin City Centre this evening, with over 100 tractors.

Around 100 tractors and dozens of other vehicles are parked around Stephens Green, Merrion Square and across from Leinster House; and Kildare Street, Molesworth Street, St Stephens Green South, Merrion Square West/South/East and Merrion Square Upper all remain closed. While tractors are also blocking Pearse Street this evening.

Meanwhile a lot of people in Dublin City Centre this lunchtime hit out at the protest for the disruption it caused.
