Hundreds of people marched through Dublin city center on Saturday to protest the wearing of masks.
The march was organized by a group called Yellow Vest Ireland, which describes itself as a “popular movement” that “is not aligned with any political group, organization or politician.”
The group gathered at 2 pm at Customs before marching through the city. There were few signs of social distancing at the event and the protesters did not wear masks.
Many in the march carried banners with slogans such as “take off your mask” and “it’s just a common cold.”
Several streets were closed to traffic to accommodate the march. A Garda spokesman said there were no arrests or major incidents.
Yellow Vest Ireland encouraged attendees to bring flags during the march. “Yellow Vest Ireland wants everyone in Ireland to feel comfortable carrying their national flags to the march this Saturday,” he said on his social media platforms.
“Last weekend in Berlin, hundreds of thousands of protesters marched in opposition to lockdown laws and unscientific masks.”
