Several thousand people have taken part in a United Against Racism rally in Dublin today.
The demonstration departed from Parnell Square and made its way to Custom House Quay.
Activist and former TD Bríd Smith said the rally has been organised in response to the rise of the far right and attacks against members of the Indian community.
Community groups from Dublin, Cork and Longford joined several Palestine solidarity organizations and groups from the Ukrainian and Indian communities.
Meanwhile, about 10,000 people have taken part in the March for Jesus in Dublin city centre.
They marched from Parnell Square to St Stephen's Green.
One of the marchers, Gary Crampton, said: "It's a good thing just to get the word out there, to get people together in the unity of the Holy Spirit, get people together, to reach people who are lost in the city.
"Because we feel that the city is sort of going into a dark place at the moment. So we want to bring the light to the city."
The participants in the March for Jesus attended a gathering at Stephen's Green south where they heard Christian musicians perform and preachers address them from the stage.
The southern side of the Green, where the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Museum of Literature Ireland and the University Church are located, was closed to traffic during the event.
