Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

People have a range of different agendas about which they want to protest. That is perfectly legitimate in our country. I do not like to see people attempting to block the public road when people are going about their work or intending to do their jobs.

I think even the Deputy understands and recognises that.

I walk to work myself in the morning and walk home at night, so it is not a case of having corridors of gardaí looking after me. Where I come from, Deputy Higgins, we are well able to look after ourselves, indeed.
