Gardai Clash with protesters marching against government cutbacks outside the Gates of Leinster House

Tuesday May 11 2010

Protesters tried to break through the gates of the Parliament building during a march against Government plans to inject billions of euros into the country's banks.

Dozens of people broke away from the march and ran at the gates of the Parliament's main building, Leinster House.

They wrestled with police, who tried to force them back while attempting to secure the gate.

At least one man suffered a head injury during the scuffles, with organisers appealing for calm.

Officers stopped the protesters from breaching the gate.

Gardai said no arrests were made and the scuffle was brought under control within minutes.
