A large gang of protestors have gathered in the temple bar area.

The protest is understood to be in relation to an alleged incident that took place in the area at the start of the week.

Dublin live has contacted Gardai for comment.

Protesters take over the street

The street is black with people as they demand justice.

One user Tweeted: ““Come out and say sorry” outside The Temple Bar pub. The nicest protest of all time.”

Social media posts claim that 14-year-old was victim of row

A person who fell to the ground was dragged inside a bar on the street according to the images.

It is not known at this point what sparked the incident, but social media posts claim that the person dragged on the ground was a 14-year-old.

Gardai confirmed to Dublin Live that they were conducting enquiries yesterday.

“Gardai are aware of a video circulating on social media of an incident in the Dublin 2 area,” they said.

“Gardai are conducting enquiries which are ongoing into this matter at this time.”

Protesters demand justice

The protesters are demanding justice due to a scrap reportedly took place on Monday evening just off Temple Lane as pubs were packing in for the evening.

Footage seen by Dublin Live shows the two groups rushing each other.

Strikes are thrown and the two groups splinter off into smaller scraps, where one person appears to hit another with a board.
