East Wall protest brings city to standstill by blocking Port Tunnel and Dublin Port during rush hour

Protesters who oppose the opening of an asylum centre in East Wall brought the city to a standstill tonight by blocking the Port Tunnel and Dublin Port during rush hour.

Hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets regularly since November 19 after it emerged an old ESB building was being used to house around 200 refugees.

Tonight’s protest saw people split into three groups - at the Port Tunnel’s entrance, the East Wall Road junction, and on Alexandra Road which is the entrance to Dublin Port.
