Mr. Drew Harris:

That will be for the investigation to determine. There were multiple attacks on gardaí by individuals in the area of Parnell Square East, Parnell Street and then in O'Connell Street itself and some of those individuals then went on to loot and steal from property as well. We want to do an analysis of the CCTV evidence and the recording of witness statements, etc., to identify the full criminal activities or alleged criminal activities of individuals who engaged in violence and looting.

We cannot say there was one group that did this and a second group of people who only involved themselves in looting, burglary, criminal damage and so on.
