Water protestors heckled President Michael D Higgins as he left a Coláiste Eoin secondary school in Finglas.
Video footage has emerged that shows President Higgin’s car being surrounded by angry protestors as Gardaí attempted to hold back the group.
The 73-year-old, who was attending the school’s 50th anniversary celebrations, was called a “little midget parasite” and “traitor” by hecklers.
The footage uploaded by Edenmore SAYSNO claims that Gardaí behaviour was unprofessional and that “they just aren’t meant to deal with the public”.
The video contains strong language and can be watched in full below:
