I condemn the actions of a small minority who fail to recognise the importance of what a peaceful protest means. The peaceful protests of genuine people, whose view differs from the Government's, have been usurped by those whose views on the war are quite different. That is to be deplored. I condemn the fact that a member of the Garda has ended up in hospital. It is regrettable that a member of the civil force was attacked while doing his duty, protecting military aircraft. Damage to the aeroplane has already cost the State a great deal of money and is something we need to examine closely.
