Reclaimed Bank Holiday Monday: up to 1000 people partied hard on the streets of Dublin on the south side of the River Liffey along Burgh Quay and George's Quay. The east end of the quay at Butt Bridge was blocked and at 3pm the party was in full swing with three sound systems, capoeira, football, twister, dancing, bongoing, cheering and guerrilla gardening. As a disused car was pushed onto the street the Gardai made their first attack, arresting 2 or3 people including one on crutches. After 2-3 hours of partying the crowd disbanded into smaller groups, one making its way towards Dame St. and then Civic Offices, Wood Quay. The Gardai then continued attacks with batons, injuring many including children and passers-by and making over 20 arrests. There have been many accusations from all sides of overuse of excessive force by Gardai, and of removing their numbers in order to be anonymous.
