Gardaí have confirmed that two public gatherings in Letterkenny passed off peacefully.
Around 1,500 people attended demonstrations, which took place back-to-back at the town’s Market Square.
A United Against Racism rally was held shortly after noon before a march and protest - attended by a larger crowd - which organisers said were about illegal immigration.
Amid a large garda presence, including the Public Order Unit in riot gear and the Air Support Unit, just one arrest was made.
A man in his 30s was arrested for public order offences. The man was later released without charge.
A Garda spokesperson told Donegal Live: “The events passed off peacefully and attendees dispersed without incident.”
