The response, as some the other members already highlighted, should have being taking place before this. As to the actual response on the day, I do not really have a problem with that, but the far right has been organising for a long time in settings across the country as well. Known people have been orchestrating the violence that has taken place and that has led to this. We have seen it at the libraries in Cork, on Sandwith Street, in East Wall in Dublin, and outside the Dáil. We have seen it all over the place. What actual monitoring does An Garda Síochána do of the far right and what is put in place to deal with it? If it had been dealt with before last Thursday, this more than likely would not have happened, or would not have been as serious.
