Hundreds of people have gathered on O'Connell Street to take part in the Extinction Rebellion Ireland protest this Good Friday afternoon.
The demonstration is part of a Europe-wide campaign to bring attention to climate change issues around the globe. Similar protests have led to several arrests in London this week.
