    I was one of the first outside the Dáil as I had a hunch some would go there after the march. Thought I'd share with my fellow boardsies the videos and pictures I got over the past few hours.

    Gardaí being pelted with bottles. Paint thrown at Dail. Fireworks. Biffo burned and some other stuff.

    I'm still uploading videos but here's a link to my YouTube channel :

    Few pics:

    These vandals should be arrested and fined for the damage.

    Also I'll note I'm not associated with those who caused this. Just a bit of citizen journalism on my part.

    As someone who was there how do you think the Gardaí reacted compared to previous incidents?

    I have to say, as a student who attended the demonstrations on the 3rd of November, they reacted MUCH better. No batoning people on the ground etc...

    I seen one guy get arrested which I have in one of the videos (could be up, I have dozens). No unnessecary force. Mostly used a line of gardaí to contain the situation.

    At one point, dogs were brought out (3 in total) but not used.

    I and two journalists were there when it started so I seen everything. They didnt put a foot wrong.

    Not that they havent in the past though.

    Oh and one legend of a guard made the entire crowd laugh by catching a bottle aimed at him and celebrating by punching the air. Calmed the situation a bit. Was funny. We need more of that.

    Should be in one of the videos I'm putting up.

    judging by the number of cameras,camera phones etc. there were more journalists(citizen or otherwise) on Kildare street than non-citizen journalists (not including gardai of course)

    am glad that the main protest passed off peacefully.

    Doesn't look like there was much of a scuffle at all at the Dáil

    This video shows the arrival of a large socialist contingent which escalated everything. This is when the paint, bottles, stones and fireworks were let off.

    Arrive around 0:40 and at around 1:30 it kicks off.

    There's always a few scumbags who'll latch onto any kind of a gathering as an excuse to act the cúnt. Thankfully they were in a tiny minority today.

    Glad to hear this , i have always said the the police need to take this kind of aproach . It seems to be the way that modern police forces react. Im sick of people defending batoning people sitting on the ground , an idiot ould tell that tactics like these only inflame the situation

    The difference between O'Connell Street today and Temple Bar of a Saturday evening was that not everyone had a beer in their hand.

    Oh, that and not everyone attending knew it was all a bit of craic. Some actually thought it would have made a difference!

    Agreed. The general IQ of the leading idiots were in single digits...

    One guy even took out his dick in front of loads of camera and pissed on the fire (made out of Cowen's burning photo) while shouting about 'de governementttt...

    Numerous people were drinking etc... idiots.

    Glad the main protest passed of with flying colours.

    Also, on the 7th of December there are plans for a full-scale siege on the Dáil. This one is being planned and well advertised and was publicized extensively at todays event. So in a couple of weeks the situation outside the Dáil could be much, much worse...

    That's because they got the **** kicked out of them at the student protests.

    Still though it's nice to see the irish fight back for once...might be too little too late though

    Most probably have warrants out for their arrest.

    If they have their faces covered they are well used to rioting and committing crimes.

    They know how valuable cctv is in prosecutions after events like these and dont want to get caught out.

    The socialist party* is full of unemployed idiots who like to hijack protests.
