IT HAS, NOBODY WILL DENY, been a crazy 24 hours for Ireland.
Beginning last night with the disclosure that the country had asked the European Union and IMF for an economic bailout, through to this morning’s declaration from the Green Party it was seeking an election in January, and through to this lunchtime’s Merrion Street protests involving Sinn Féin… Ireland has rarely seen 24 hours like it.
Here, then, is our selection of the best press images of the last 24 hours.

Incredible images. You know something significant’s up when you feel like you’re living in an episode of Reeling in the Years….

They’re going to find it hard to condense 2010 into one episode!
The Garda was ‘holding back’ the protesters? Did you actually watch the video? His colleagues were holding him back! Another Garda was trying to wrestle the baton off him. He assaulted protesters and a sitting TD. He was the only person there who acted violently.

Barry – you could well be right, but it’s not up to us as an impartial news source to say someone has committed that kind of crime/act…
why are we letting this legal criminal away with selling our rights when we should stand and unite as history shows us and demand him gone ,COWEN resign or we will push you out embarrassing you yet again
