Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Drew Harris:

I might turn to my colleague in respect of the numbers but I know that in and around 4 p.m., we were already supplementing the public order numbers by putting out a call to those personnel, both in the DMR and, subsequently, in the eastern region, who could report in public order gear.

On the question of corralling or book-ending the group, it has to be said we did not have sufficient numbers to successfully conduct that kind of operation until later in the evening.
