Hundreds of anti-mask activists held a sit-in in the middle of Grafton Street on Saturday afternoon as part of a protest in Dublin city center.
The protesters began with a demonstration outside Customs before marching onto Grafton Street chanting “no more lockdowns” and “no more masks.”
They also yelled at shoppers to “take off their masks.”
The Customs protest was organized by an organization called Health Freedom Ireland and was supported by Yellow Vest Ireland.
Both organizations are anti-mask, anti-blocking and anti-mandatory vaccines.
Among the speakers at the protest was Dr. Andrew Wynne, who said that Covid-19 was not a deadly virus and that people need not fear it.
In a statement, Gardaí said the protesters “dispersed without incident” after the Grafton Street meeting.
He said he will investigate the organization of the protest.
The statement added: “By supporting the Covid-19 public health guidelines and regulations, An Garda Síochána has adopted and will continue to adopt a graduated police response based on its tradition of consent policing.
“When possible infractions of public health regulations are identified, a file is sent to the Director of the Public Ministry to indicate how to proceed.”
