A LARGE CROWD has marched to the GPO in Dublin today as water charge protests return to the capital.

Having taken a backseat to campaigning for the same-sex marriage referendum, is once again at the forefront of the political agenda.

There were a number of Greek flags on display, as protesters used the event to show solidarity with the country, which is teetering on the edge of default.

While there was a small Garda presence, no incidents have been reported.
