Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána

Mr. Drew Harris:

This followed a classic controlled delivery. Obviously, with this being an examination following the terrible incident of 1 June, we have looked to what we knew of this individual beforehand. I want to be very careful because he has been described as many things in the media, but in our interactions with him he was compliant. He complied with this bail conditions up until 1 June. Certainly, by his behaviours we did not anticipate the events of 1 June.
