You'd know more about it than me but I seem to recall some sort of Unionist march in Dublin within the last few years which saw quite a few arrests as certain people attempted to stop the march.
Rough background stopme: The 2006 Dublin riots were a series of riots which occurred in Dublin on 25 February 2006, precipitated by a proposed controversial march down O'Connell Street of a unionist demonstration. The disturbances began when members of An Garda SÃochána attempted to disperse a group of counter-demonstrators who were blocking the route of the proposed march on O'Connell Street. Some local youths joined forces with the counter-demonstrators, and the situation escalated.

This was organised in part by Willie Frazer of Families Acting for Innocent Relatives (FAIR). This is a group established to voice outrage at the killings by the Republican paramilitary organisations, but it has been criticised for not doing the same for victims of loyalist paramilitary organisations. Frazer had said of loyalist paramilitary prisoners that "They should never have been locked up in the first place", and that he had "a lot of time for Billy Wright."[1] An example of this alleged attitude is the previous displaying of the picture of an Ulster Volunteer Force member who was allegedly involved, among others, in the murder of 26 people in Dublin in the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan Bombings, and who was himself killed by the Provisional IRA in 1976. His picture had appeared at FAIR rallies and an organiser of the Love Ulster demonstration previously told a republican newspaper that he would not guarantee that images of the murder suspect would not be displayed during the demonstration.[2] The Love Ulster march in Dublin was to consist of a uniformed band, several hundred activists (including some from the Orange Order) and relatives of victims, all of whom would march from Parnell Street north of the River Liffey, down O'Connell Street, past Trinity College onto Nassau Street, Dawson Street and Molesworth Street, and eventually reaching Leinster House, the seat of the Oireachtas (the Irish parliament), on Kildare Street. The march of this group in Dublin was viewed as provocative by many Irish nationalists and Irish republicans, particularly in the context of an Orange Order march.[3] The Orange Order has been accused of being a sectarian organisation and is known for its anti-Catholicism.[4] The right to march was supported by the main Irish political parties and the march was authorised by the Garda SÃochána. Love Ulster had organised a similar rally in Belfast in October 2005. BTW. That's Willie ( that money was only resting my account ) Frazer. Honest. <ok.
Unionists/Orange Order, Nationalists/Sinn Fein, fuzzy boundaries - all looks a bit mad from our side of the West British Sea.
Long story short. Willie ( that money was only resting my account ) Frazer went down to Dublin to stir shoite. Willie ( that money was only resting in my account ) got his ass kicked.
From what I saw the protestors got a beating from the guardians. This Willie Frazer whoever he is probably thought "job's a goodun".
Says it all really about good old Willie ( that money was only resting in my account ) Frazer http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/n...logy-for-frazerrsquos-flag-slur-16160532.html
