Thousands of people have taken part in a pro-Palestinian rally in Dublin.
Organisers said the protest marks "two years of genocide in Gaza" and called on the Government to sanction Israel.
It is the 17th such demonstration convened by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC), which has seen tens of thousands of people gather in Dublin's streets over the last two years.
The march was held between the Garden of Remembrance on Parnell Square and finished at Leinster House for a series of speeches.
The rally, which began shortly after a Storm Amy-related weather warning lapsed, was also set to feature musical performances.
Participants including left-wing political groups and trade unions held banners and waved Palestinian flags.

The protest came after 16 Irish citizens were among hundreds detained by Israel after it intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was carrying aid to Gaza.
Healthcare worker Maureen Almai is one of those who was part of the flotilla and has been detained by Israel.
Her daughter Jenna said that she is concerned about how Maureen is being treated by authorities there.
"I was in touch with her every day, up until the evening or the early morning hours that the boat was intercepted," she said.
"I've been like scanning every kind of communication channel that I can, trying to get updates on her.
"I was in touch with the consular office yesterday and they've met with her, the legal team has met with her, but they're not able to give me any update on how she is doing, or about her treatment.
"We just know that the treatment of the participants in general has been a bit rough to put it nicely."
Speaking ahead of the protest, IPSC chairwoman Zoë Lawlor said there had been a "savage food and aid blockade for months" into Gaza, while local health officials reported 66,000 deaths in the enclave.
She also criticised the Government and Tánaiste Simon Harris.
Ms Lawlor said: "Between 50 and 100 people are still being killed every day - and more than 100 more Palestinians were murdered over the past 24 hours.
"We have also seen the illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters and the detention of hundreds of activists, including many Irish citizens, trying to deliver aid to Gaza.
"The response of Western powers has been to keep sending guns, bombs and tech to murder Palestinians.
"Sadly, Ireland is little different. Simon Harris has called Israel's actions 'genocide', 'unconscionable' and 'unacceptable' - yet the Irish Government is barely lifting a finger to end Ireland's deep complicity in this genocide."
The IPSC is also calling on the Government to enact an Occupied Territories Bill which would ban both trade and services with illegal Israeli settlements.
Among those at the march was Dua'a Ahmed who came to Ireland two months ago after being offered a scholarship in Limerick.
She was a teacher in Gaza, and has two sons aged 11 and eight still living there.
"I survived the genocide in Gaza, and I feel sorry for what is going on there, I'm here today to stand with my people and speak out and call for freedom and for an urgent ceasefire."

"I have my two boys and I just want peace for them. We experienced horrific things, like we ate animal food because of the starvation, and we also had terrible nights - lots of explosions around us.
"We are traumatised."
Dua'a Ahmed said communication with her family has been difficult, and she fears for her sons.
"They are facing difficult conditions with the shortage of food and water."
Peace plan
Today's protest comes a day after Hamas announced it would engage with the deal put forward by US President Donald Trump.
The group said it would agree to releasing the hostages, and hand over control of Gaza to another Palestinian body as long as it has the consensus of the Palestinian people and is supported by Arab and Islamic nations.
People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy said he did not have confidence in the deal, calling it a "new colonial cargo".
"When you read the detail of what's there, I mean, this is it's obscenity.
"This is not a peace deal. It's cooked up, not between Israel and the Palestinians, but between Netanyahu, who's the director of this genocide, and Trump, whose funding the genocide.
"And what is constrained in the deal is no right to self determination people, the installation of Tony Blair and Donald Trump as sort of viceroys.
"So what in reality it is, is a new colonial cargo, a special economic zone, and this is not going to promise lasting peace for the Palestinian people.
"And it's why we're going to keep on the streets, keep our movement, to stop the support that exists from many many western governments to Israel that allows them to behave in the way that they behave."
'Sport is a very important cultural boycott'
One of the groups there was Irish Sport for Palestine, with its member Joanne McDonald saying they are working to get Israel banned from sporting competitions.
It is also establishing connections and working with sporting organisations in Gaza.
"Sport is a very important cultural boycott." said Ms McDonald.
She said they are campaigning for the FAI to bring a fast motion to UEFA to expel Israel, while they are also pushing the GAA to drop its sponsorship deal with Allianz.
Earlier, protesters called for the GAA to end its sponsorship arrangement with Allianz.
While the GAA held a special congress at Croke Park, around 50 people took part in a demonstration outside the Hogan Stand entrance.
Dubs for Palestine and Gaels against Genocide in Gaza said the GAA hierarchy had received correspondence asking the organisation to end Allianz's long-term sponsorship of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.
The groups say the insurance firm had ties to companies that were enabling Israel's war in Gaza.
They criticised the GAA for a lack of response to their concerns and also expressed disappointment that the matter was not up for a vote at the special congress.
After a previous protest, Allianz said: "Our long-standing partnership with the GAA is about supporting Irish sport and communities.
"Allianz Ireland is part of a global group, and while the wider group operates internationally across insurance and investment, as a matter of principle, we do not comment on individual customers or business matters.
"What we can say is that all Allianz business decisions are guided by strict legal standards and world-leading ESG (environmental, social and governance) principles."
At that time, the GAA said it had no comment to make but would review the correspondence that was handed in today.
Allianz and the GAA have been contacted for comment.
