GROUPS PROTESTING THE imposition of water charges staged a march to the RTÉ campus in Donnybrook today.
Pictures show around 150 people taking part in the demonstration, as gardaí and security guards look on.
The event has been planned via closed Facebook groups over the last number of weeks.
A number of campaigners have accused the national broadcaster of bias against the anti- water charges movement over recent months.
At a march in December, an RTÉ van was daubed with the word ‘lies’.
There was also some criticism of Ryan Tubridy’s Late Late Show interview with Anti-Austerity Alliance TD Paul Murphy last month – with some viewers saying the presenter’s approach was over-the-top.
Today’s march began near Donnybrook, proceeding along a stretch of dual carriageway towards Montrose.
Protesters formed a motorcade to travel to the city centre after the RTÉ protest, which passed off peacefully
Another demonstration, in support of the water protesters jailed last month for breaking a court injunction, then took place – from O’Connell Street to Mountjoy Prison.
