DUBLIN (Reuters) - Irish fishermen sent a flotilla of around 100 trawlers up the River Liffey in the centre of Dublin on Wednesday in protest at being hit harder than most member states by the Brexit trade deal the European Union struck with Britain.
Around 1,000 people protested along the city's main river overlooked by Dublin's financial centre, including many who sailed overnight from all around the country. One man from Youghal, in the southern county of Cork, told Reuters he sailed for 18 hours to attend.
