Scuffles have broken out this evening between protestors and Gardai at Leinster House.
Several hundred protestors including the Campaign Against Household and Water Taxes have gathered on Kildare Street in Dublin.
It comes after Finance Minister Michael Noonan announced the details of Budget 2013.
Central to the document was the property tax which will be charged at 0.18% of the value of your home.
It will come into force from the middle of next year.
While a so-called mansion tax for houses valued at over €1 million will also be introduced at a rate of 0.25%.
Changes to PRSI
There are to be changes to PRSI contributions with the €127 weekly-tax free allowance to be scrapped with PRSI being paid on all income instead.
Pensioners are also in the firing line with those with high incomes to be hit with a 3-point increase in the Universal Social Charge (USC) on incomes over €60,000.
While 'old reliables' of cigarettes and alcohol will also increase from midnight tonight.
Onlookers at the protest said they cannot take anymore.
