Organisers have called for an end to Israel’s action in Gaza and for the Irish Government to “take action to hold Israel accountable”.
The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) said it was the fifth such national mobilisation.
Crowds gathered at Parnell Square before a procession across the city centre to the Department of Foreign Affairs at St Stephen’s Green, where there were speeches and performances of Irish and Palestinian music.
