Violent skirmishes broke out between protesters and police at the first public signing for Tony Blair's memoirs, with shoes and eggs hurled at the former prime minister.
Former prime minister attacked by anti-war protesters in Dublin as he promotes memoirs
Protesters shouted "Whose cops? Blair's cops!" as they taunted the gardai while Blair remained inside the bookshop. They also shouted: "Hey hey Tony hey, how many kids have you killed today?"
When Diana, the 'People's Princess' died, Tony Blair felt a duty to 'protect the monarchy from itself'.
“We were both, in our own way, manipulators” — good at grasping the feelings of others and instinctively playing on them.
Activist Kate O'Sullivan, from Cork, attempted to make a citizen's arrest during the signing before Blair's security team dragged her away.
"I went up to him and I said 'Mr Blair, I'm here to make a citizen's arrest for the war crimes that you've committed'," said O'Sullivan, 24, a member of the Irish Palestine Solidarity Movement.
