Absolutely. There was an incident in Cork on 24 February. It was the second anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. There was a pro-Ukraine rally and a pro-Palestine rally, but there was also a far-right rally. I am told by people who were present that the Garda did not interfere and, effectively, gave free run to the far-right rally, which included people who had been charged before the courts for previous offences of that nature. That is troubling. Is there a pattern? Is the same happening in many other places?
