Lord Mayor of Dublin Caroline Conroy has slammed the anti refugee protests in her native Ballymun and claimed they were organised by the "far right".
Scenes of the protests were shared widely on social media over the weekend. Chants of "get them out" were heard outside of an accommodation centre on Saturday night.
The protestors also held banners that were critical of the Government's immigration policies. There was wide criticism of the protest on social media with Dublin GAA legend Philly McMahon saying it was "disappointing".
