Violent scenes erupted in Newtownmountkennedy, Co Wicklow last night.
Six people were arrested outside an area that had been earmarked to accommodate international protection applicants.
Gardaí came under attack after workers were brought onto the site. Three Garda cars were damaged, Gardaí had rocks and other missiles thrown at them while fires were lit at the scene. An axe was also recovered.
Gardaí deployed shields and incapacitant spray, with some locals apparently saying Gardaí used excessive force…
Andrea is joined by Newstalk Reporter Josh Crosbie, journalist Valerie Cox and listeners to give their takes on the protest as well as the Garda response.
