Overview

  • Gardaí confirm the southbound Dublin Port Tunnel lane and nearby approaches are closed due to the demonstration.
  • Protesters, including Trinity College Dublin BDS activists, are blocking port entrances after Israel intercepted the Global Sumud flotilla and detained at least 14 Irish citizens.
  • Lines of trucks have built since about 2:30pm, with Gardaí positioned between demonstrators and frustrated drivers.
  • Stena Line’s 4:30pm Dublin–Holyhead sailing departed without a full truck load, and further trucks are expected to miss the 7:45pm Irish Ferries departure.
  • Organizers say they will remain for as long as it takes, as politicians including Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald addressed earlier rallies near Leinster House.
