Seven arrests were made at an anti-Nama protest outside the headquarters of Anglo Irish Bank in Dublin on Saturday.

Four people climbed on to a ledge at the front of the building at 6am. Gardaí moved in at noon and removed the protesters, who were chained to each other.

The four were members of the socialist republican party Éirígí. Three more arrests took place at the rear of the building.

The seven later appeared before the Bridewell District Court in Dublin charged with public order offences.
