A group of TDs are planning to meet gardai from Dublin's north inner city over the next week to discuss allegations by anti drugs activists that they are being intimidated, reports Emmet Oliver. The meeting is expected to discuss Thursday's arrest of three anti drug activists from a group called Ballybough Against Drugs.

Most of the TDs are from the Dublin North Central constituency, although independent TD Mr Tony Gregory, from Dublin Central, is also involved.

Last night a protest was held in the area by 150 locals against two suspected drug dealers.
