On Saturday, September 12th, several dozen people gathered on Kildare Street, Dublin 2, to hear speakers denounce restrictions introduced to help combat the spread of Covid-19.

Also in attendance were a small group of counter-protesters including veteran LGBT+ activist Ms Kamikaze. Videos later appeared online showing Ms Kamikaze with blood streaming from a head injury. Gardaí were on the scene and tried to intervene to keep the two groups apart, with Ms Kamikaze taken to hospital for treatment.
