James Browne: ...I was at the horrendous attack that took place on Thursday outside Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire. My thoughts are with each of the victims and their families and particularly the young child and her carer who remain in a serious situation. They remain in a critical condition. I know we are all wishing for their full recovery with the support of the dedicated healthcare workers who are...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Helen McEntee: ...in response to what have been appalling scenes and an appalling attack. What I have heard is political opportunity and I have heard political point scoring. A young girl, her school classmates and her carer were viciously assaulted last Thursday. The violent disorder that ensued, because of thugs and criminals, should be an opportunity and a reason for us to come together to ensure this...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Emer Higgins: ...absolutely unbelievable situation, caught up in awful scenes outside Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire on Thursday afternoon. To those who decided that the way to protect those small children and their carers was to riot, to rob, to set fire to public transport service vehicles and emergency service vehicles and to terrorise Dubliners, people who work here and who live here, as well as...

Michael Healy-Rae: As a parent, and indeed a grandparent, and a representative of the people of Kerry, I want to say how sorry and shocked I am to think of innocent little children and their carer and minder being attacked in a savage way. I compliment the gardaí, the firemen, the emergency responders and the ambulance people for facing into what was an awful situation later on that evening. It was...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Richard O'Donoghue: My heart goes out to the three children and the carer who were at the heart of a situation where a person tried to and did stab them. My heart also goes out to the people who intervened to save those lives. Some 98.7% of the gardaí voted against Drew Harris as their representative. The Minister is the protector of the people through the Garda service. Some 98.7% of the Garda...

Brendan Griffin: On behalf of the people of Kerry, I express my shock and revulsion at what happened to those little children and their carer on Thursday. I thank the people who came to their assistance - Ireland's finest. I also acknowledge the emergency workers who came under attack from Ireland's worst. I thank the brave men and women of An Garda Síochána who repelled those attacks and brought...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Heather Humphreys: The events we saw in Dublin last Thursday have shocked decent people across the country. Three innocent little children and their carer were attacked. The city was in shock and our thoughts remain with those affected. Later, shops were looted and buses were set on fire, and there were open attacks on members of the Garda. The message this House needs to send out loud and clear tonight to...

Matt Shanahan: On behalf of my Regional Group colleagues, I send our best wishes to the children involved in that horrific stabbing incident, their carer and their family members.

I recognise the tremendous bravery of those who tackled and restrained the alleged perpetrator of this...

Thomas Byrne: I express my sympathy and solidarity with those victims of the attack, which was the first thing that happened on Thursday. Some children and carers were viciously attacked. I certainly support An Garda Síochána in its investigation of this and in the prosecution of the individual responsible. I also thank those bystanders who took the initiative to prevent further attacks. They...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: My thoughts remain with the young children and the crèche workers who were so viciously assaulted and attacked on Thursday, and the children, carers, families and friends caring for them. I welcome the swift actions of the delivery driver, the parents present, the school staff and the staff of the Rotunda. I welcome the ongoing major Garda operation in Dublin city centre, which has...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Bernard Durkan: Our thoughts go out to the children and their carer who were so callously attacked a few days ago and left in a life-threatening condition. We should record the bravery with which passers-by reacted to the situation regardless of their own safety. They were prepared to help. That is the real spirit of Ireland. The real thinking people of Ireland are the ones who respond to the call of an...

Alan Farrell: I start by wishing the students, carers, teachers and parents of Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire well. I can only imagine they are suffering greatly due to this horrifying attack on Thursday lunchtime. I think of the little girl and her carer who remain in hospital, and hope their recovery is both swift and comfortable. I also mention the number of heroes who intervened, disarmed and...

Mick Barry: I extend my sympathies to all those injured in the knife attack on Thursday, especially to the five-year-old girl and her carer who are in hospital and whose conditions are serious, and to their families. This riot was organised and orchestrated by Ireland's far-right, by openly racist and fascist groups. These groups like to portray themselves as the defenders of women and children. Women...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Bríd Smith: I will go first, followed by Deputy Kenny and then Deputies Murphy, and Barry. Our full solidarity, sympathy and our hearts go out to the children, their families, the carer and her family, and all in the community who were deeply affected by this horrible and unspeakable act. There are certain grounds for women and children in this country to be fearful of violence because they have...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Cormac Devlin: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate on the recent spate of violence in Dublin city. Last Thursday’s attack on three innocent children and their carer outside Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire shocked the nation. I send my best wishes to the children, one of whom is still in critical care, their carer, their families and all those who intervened to stop the attack. I...

Norma Foley: ...my sincere and heartfelt sympathies to every single person who has been affected by this brutal, senseless and cruel attack. Our thoughts are in particular with the young children and the carer who were attacked on Thursday afternoon, as well as their families and loved ones. To perpetrate such violence against any person is a grave travesty; to do so against innocent children and their...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Peter Burke: First, our thoughts and prayers are with the young child in hospital, their carer and all the staff at Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire. It is so important that they have our support at this very difficult time after what was a horrific attack on innocence.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...tar éis roinnt uaireanta a chloig. Gabhaim buíochas leo siúd, lucht gnó agus foireann Chomhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath, a ghlan an chathair suas ina ndiaidh na círéibe. Given all that occurred on Thursday, it is plain that An Garda Síochána management was incapable of acting on intelligence and reports that things were being stirred up...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Paul Donnelly: First, our thoughts and hopes for a full recovery go out to the young child and her carer and those injured in the horrific violent and criminal acts carried out last Thursday. Our thoughts are also with the teachers and staff of Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire. Everyone who heard the news was numbed and shocked. There was deep concern and fear about what would happen afterwards. We...

Louise O'Reilly: ...in my home town. I know that Deputies across the whole House will want to state their feelings strongly and express their revulsion at the heinous attack on the innocent children and their carer. Like everyone, the minute I heard the news of the horrific knife attack on small children, and on the people minding them, I was frozen to the spot with shock. I send my support and solidarity...
