A national day of protests against water charges and austerity will take place this afternoon.
The protests are part of a campaign planned for the weeks leading up to the General Election - and will also include another demonstration on the last Saturday before the Election.
The rallies, organised by the Right2Water Campaign, will be held in over 30 locations nationwide.
In Dublin, people are being told to assemble at Christchurch or Connolly Station at 2pm this afternoon, before marching to the GPO.
Gardai are warning of traffic restrictions all throughout the city centre.
Protests will also take place in Galway, Cork and Limerick - as well as several other locations across the country.
