Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Arson Attacks: Discussion

Dr. Shawna Coxon:

Yes, absolutely. It is something that continues to be disseminated because of those tactics. Even in terms of our operational briefs, it is part of what is given to members. We have had updated operational briefs for Dublin, for example, but they have been sent out across the country because people need to understand how the far right operates, what its tactics are and how we deal with them. It is part of how we deal with protests, particularly from them, as well as dealing with criminal offences.
