Eleven people have been arrested for public order offences following two separate protests in Dublin city centre.
An anti-immigration protest started at around 2pm at the Garden of Remembrance before travelling down O'Connell Street and to the Custom House.
It is estimated around 1,000 people took part in the protest.
A separate United Against Racism counter-protest also took place at the Spire and is estimated to have included hundreds of people.
A significant garda presence was in operation in the area and acted as a line between both protests as they passed each other.
In a statement, gardaí said over 300 members were on duty during the protests.
Strategic Commander Chief Superintendent McMenamin said: "Today a significant policing operation was deployed in Dublin City Centre.
"Gardaí had to police a challenging environment with a number of public gatherings organised and attended by persons with divergent and opposing views whilst also managing the rights of citizens to enjoy the amenity that is Dublin City Centre.
"Despite the challenging environment and the intensity of opposing interactions, particularly on O'Connell Street, the events passed off primarily peacefully.
"I want to thank the business community and public transport companies in Dublin city centre for their support throughout the afternoon."
