Occupiers of a building on Frederick Street in the north inner city are being removed by men wearing balaclavas this evening.
Gardaí are present as those inside the building, who have been protesting against the homelessness crisis, are being evicted.
Take Back The City, the group behind the protest, has described how armed Gardaí are protecting the men and that pepper spray has been used as the situation escalates.
This is the state’s response to people fighting for housing rights
