Anti-migration protesters in Dublin have told GB News that the Government is "urinating on the Irish people" as furious locals take to the streets of the city.
More than 500 people gathered to protest at the GPO in the centre of Dublin, expressing their outrage at the surging homelessness in the city and mass migration.
Speaking to GB News, Kildare County Councillor Tom McDonnell and protester John Malloy told reporter Dougie Beattie that the Government must "get it together" and help the people.
Criticising the Government, McDonnell explained: "We had a lot of candidates just popping up at the last minute, and we want to cut that out.

"Going forward, we need people that are active, that are involved in the communities that are out there and doing work, not just preparing with the board three weeks before the election. You need people that are sitting there that are doing work."
Highlighting the significance of the protest in Dublin, demonstrator John Malloy declared there are at least "16,000 homeless people" in the city, and due to mass migration they are suffering a "crisis".
Malloy told GB News: "I'd just like to bring the point here of what happened today and what we're doing here.
"Today we came together as people, as normal people in this country, to highlight about 16,000 homeless in this country."

Hitting out at the Government's lack of support for the homeless, Malloy fumed: "There's also the hidden homeless and those that are waiting on social housing, which is probably about 30 or 40,000 people at this moment in time.
"The Government, who are down here behind us, are literally urinating on the Irish people."
Malloy called on the Government to "get it together" and help fix not only the homeless crisis but the "migration crisis".
He told GB News: "The only way we can do this, and we've seen this in the past through political channels, that political policies are not curing a big issue that we have.

"We have the homeless crisis, we have an economic crisis, we have a migrant crisis and so on in this country. Bringing it forward, we need to get together."
Malloy concluded: "We need to get all parties that are out there that are fringe parties and everything else to stop throwing toys out of the pram, get together, sit down on the table, and work it out.
"Because there are 16,000 people at this moment in time, sitting around in doorways and in tents and everything.
"We're down here tonight in tents, as you can see behind me here, and we're highlighting this problem."
