Drew Harris says there was no ‘heavy handedness’ in the Garda response to Grafton Street protest

, Dublin, where he addressed the media about the policing plan for the next six-week period as the Republic will remain on Level 5 of the Living with Covid-19 plan.

Trouble flared when a group tried to occupy the street, the main shopping thoroughfare in the capital. A large rally had been planned for Custom House Quay, though both the Yellowgroup and Health Ireland group decided to withdraw from the gathering. However, another group later proceeded to Grafton Street where the clashes took place.

Commenting on the general policing plan for Covid-19 Level 5, Mr Harris said traffic volumes had already begun to reduce as a network of thousands of Garda checkpoints had been erected nationwide; some static and others mobile. However, the Garda would still see engagement with people as its main approach during the pandemic and did “not want to get to the point of enforcement” actions being taken against members of the public.

I don’t know what this was about. But Garda describing it as far right groups try to disrupt government institutions and infrastructure sounds more like an attempted coup than a protest.

Curbyour

Mean while, people cry over spilt wine 🙄 'A very sad day watching all the whiskey and wine gone to waste.'

These are not protests, these are akin to radicalized rallies against ordinary people, they are full of hatred and bitterness.

These clowns among them

He has no place addressing the public with such comments or opinions

I'm all for protest. Done it myself in the past. However you dont gather in groups to spread a virus. There are many other ways to protest these days. These same people calling everyone sheep and saying do some research whereas in fact they are the sheep who clearly dont research

Ok so, because the Irish times has a different opinion to me on a number of issues, I will consider you a far right publication from now on. That’s the way it works, right?

Are they catholic far right or protestant far right?

All those 'far right' Nigerians blocking streets outside the embassy this week.

Drew Harris ex RUC, linked to loyalist hit gangs. Couldn’t find anyone more suitable for this position?

True

The 'far-right' in Ireland seem to be ordinary Irish people willing to tackle the government. Someone has to as there doesn't seem to be any opposition to them.

Glad to see the Iristimes used the term 'far right'

I would certainly but into the replacement conspiracy- happy to replace these yobs with immigrants - most who will work darn harder than these inner city yobs and vermin.

'that's our job' the commissioner added

About time the Gardai faced down these goons.

Until the Irish Times sets out a concise description of what they consider “ far right “ , we will assume it’s not true, but rather just extreme far left propaganda.

far right is anyone who doesn't fit into the neo lib consensus it seems

How was this protest “far right?”Do any of these people who call themselves journalists know the definition of far right?Genuine question.Because traditionally far right= Hitler ideology.The protest was against forced mask wearing, forced job losses and forced lock down.

😂😂😂aww are they scared

StevieMcCaffery He oversees these old British Legion provocateurs

Send this clown back to the north where he belongs. We don't need RUC boot boy tactics down here. 10 gardai piling on top of a girl protesting in Grafton Street is criminal & despicable, end of story.

Not far right... but the rest in true. Open the businesses. Stop destroying our country for the flu SaveIrelandFromTheGreatReset

You mean concerned Parents

Irish radical left government trying to disrupt basic rights and freedom.

Define far right ? Ireland doesn't have any political representation to the right of centre and anything challenging the status quo is labelled far right

Would Michael Clifford of the Irish Examiner care to comment? Or are the suit, shirt and tie wearing far right leaders exempt from opprobrium?

Far right 😂😂😂
