![]() Interviews with Ruairí Ó Brádaigh and others attending Saturdays protest against the playing of "God save the Queen" at Croke park never turned into a repeat of last years Love Ulster riot as many had predicted, although things got quite heated between the Gardai and the protestors on several occasions. The demonstration in Drumcondra was attended by roughly 150 protestors, mostly Republican Sinn Fein, and handed in a letter of protest. Small skirmishes ensued as the crowd attempted to push past the Gardai to march back into the city centre.
