There have been violent scenes as tens of thousands of people protested against plans to treble tuition fees and cut university funding in England.
Outside, a crowd of thousands surged as placards and banners were set on fire and missiles were thrown.
Student leaders condemned the violence as "despicable".
They say about 50,000 people took part in a march through Westminster earlier.
A stand-off is still taking place between about two dozen demonstrators and the police, with 32 people having been arrested so far.
Compare this to our student demo last week, instead of them going wild it was the Gardai who were out of control. Will our students step up next time and copy their British cousins?
