Derek Keating (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael)

I express my condolences to the bereaved families and those who were injured last weekend. I will focus on future security. Would airport-type security be appropriate for such events? Many events are held in Ireland, but not all of them have large attendances. Some are only attended by thousands. Often, we attend local football matches. Where violence can be expected, airport-type security measures might be appropriate. Has the Minister an opinion in this regard, particularly given the events of last weekend and their implication for further concerts this summer in Marley Park and the Phoenix Park that will attract similarly large crowds?
