Asylum seeker protestors including men on horseback blocked a road in Coolock in Dublin last night.

The protest brought part of the Malahide Road to a standstill for a time.

Last night's protest initially began at a former factory that protesters believe is due to house hundreds of asylum seekers.

It led to part of the Malahide Road being blocked for more than half an hour with men on horseback riding down the road.

The action caused traffic to back up with sections of the route closed off by Gardaí.

It was the third day of demonstrations at the site.

It comes after screenshots of an email detailing plans for the former warehouse, reportedly from the Department of Integration, circulated on social media.
