Garda Representative Association concerned over ‘delay that endangered members', but McEntee satisfied with response
, which represents more than 2,000 rank-and-file gardaí, has complained its members were exposed to serious danger because of delay in deploying the Public Order Unit. However, Ms McEntee has expressed satisfaction with the policing response, saying the violence was brought quickly under control, revealing that 30 arrests had been made, much higher than the 19 known about earlier on Tuesday.
GRA leader Mark O’Meara said while his members “bravely stood firm” in Coolock he questioned if “lessons” had been learned from the riots sparked by far-right elements in Dublin last November.Coolock locals on unrest: ‘We’re like prisoners in our own home’‘In Ireland, everyone’s grown up together and no one is really looking for new friends’
“We will express serious concerns on whether lessons were learned from the incidents of last November and demand that we are better prepared for any possible future attacks The safety of our members is paramount.” Pressed on the RTÉ News at One whether she was satisfied with the policing response, she replied “absolutely”, especially as gardaí were forced to deal with several groups and locations over a distance of about 2km on Malahide Road.
