Anti-war protest outside major security forum in Dublin

Anti-war protesters have staged a demonstration outside a major security conference in Dublin.

Gathering in the city centre for the penultimate day of the Government’s Consultative Forum on International Security Policy, protesters held signs criticising Nato and banners calling for neutrality to be enshrined in the Irish constitution.

The protesters moved from a gathering on Dame Street where speeches were held towards Dublin Castle, which is hosting the forum on Monday and Tuesday.
