There was a certain irony in the situation that developed in Frederick Street North after the new Garda Commissioner had come out and called for transparency in the service. That appalling incident then occurred where we had members of An Garda Síochána wear balaclavas to deal with citizens. Under the Constitution, the owner of the site had a right to organise to have her property vacated. In that sense, it was a private matter between the owner and the people occupying the property. That gardaí felt it was their role to take sides in that situation is reprehensible and will set back any attempts being made to foster trust between the community and An Garda Síochána. In that context, what investigation has the Minister called for with regard to those events? They have set back trust in gardaí to a very great degree in that property was valued ahead of human rights.
