Thousands of people are marching across Dublin City Centre in support of Palestine and calling for a ceasefire now in Gaza.

People Before Profit leader Richard Boyd Barrett and Labour Party Leader Ivana Bacik are among those protesting.

Both have said Palestine and sanctions against Israel must be “an absolute priority” and a red line for any party going into government after the election.

The organisers are calling for people to make Palestine an issue in this election.
