In Pictures: Ukrainians in Limerick hold demonstration as President addresses Oireachtas

MEMBERS of the Ukrainian community in Limerick, including some recently-arrived refugees, gathered in the city centre this Wednesday morning as the country's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, addressed a joint meeting of the Oireachtas.

A peaceful demonstration took place at Bedford Row just before 10am with those present, mainly women and children calling for an end to the Russian invasion which began more than a month ago.

Some of those who attended the demonstration watched President's Zelensky's speech on TVs at the nearby Supermac's restaurant.
