Sunday 26 January 2014 15.20 Mass anti-government demonstrations have continued in Ukraine, overnight, despite an offer of concessions from President Viktor Yanukovych.
Protestors attempted to storm a large conference hall in the capital Kiev in which riot police were stationed.
Ukrainian opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk said demonstrations would continue despite Mr Yanukovych's offer to appoint him as prime minister.
Mr Yatsenyuk said the offer showed the government was trying to evade responsibility for its actions.
He said the opposition was generally ready to accept leadership, but several key demands must be met, including new elections.
The protests began in November after Ukraine decided not to sign an accord on increased co-operation with the European Union.
Hundreds gathered at the Ukrainian embassy in Dublin today calling for President Yanukovych to step down.
Their calls echo those of thousands of demonstrators in Kiev, who say they are fighting widespread government corruption and abuse of power.
Ukraine Ambassador to Ireland Sergii Riva rejected the protestors' claims that the president needs to resign for peace to be restored.
Mr Riva said more dialogue is needed.
