GARDAÍ ARRESTED FOUR people at an anti-immigration rally in Dundalk yesterday.
It is understood that far right demonstrators were greeted by a counter demonstration – the arrests were made on Jocelyn Street in the town.
It is understood the protests are focused on a hostel where Ukrainian refugees have been housed in the town.
A garda spokesperson said: “During the course of the incident four persons were arrested under Public Order legislation.
“The gathering dissipated at approximately 7.30pm without further incident.”
Yesterday’s arrests followed a similar largescale garda operation on 21 July in which three people were detained by gardaí.
