Fifteen people appeared before a late-night sitting at the Criminal Courts of Justice on Monday, charged with a range of public order offences.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has condemned “unacceptable” scenes when violence flared and his officers came under sustained attack at a disused factory designated as accommodation for asylum seekers in north Dublin.
At one point on Monday the protesters tried to move away from the factory towards Coolock Garda station before they were dispersed. “No person has a right to burn cars, damage property or attack members of An Garda Siochana and emergency services.“These actions are criminal and are designed to sow fear and division.”“I want to thank An Garda Siochana, who have come under attack today. They have shown extraordinary professionalism.”
Traffic was diverted from the area and one of the city’s main arteries, the Malahide Road was closed for several hours. I have spoken to the Garda Commissioner and he has assured me that everything will be done to bring those responsible to justice.“As the situation intensified, members of An Garda Siochana used force to defend themselves as part of an escalated response to the situation.
