Let me change direction. There are still a number of investigations taking place that relate to the Dublin riots.
A concern among both the public and the gardaí was that guards did not have the freedom to respond. I would like to give our guests the opportunity to respond to that here because I believe that the Garda Commissioner did. Is there anything that our guests would like to say to that public commentary around how guards might be limited in responding to that sort of situation?
