Crime Levels: Statements.
I also applaud the Garda for its firm but not over the top dealing with public demonstrations. As Senator O'Toole said on the Order of Business, within those demonstrations there is an element appearing under many different names and guises which is out to create violence and wrongfoot the Garda. I deplore the vilification of the Garda by those out to get a violent response from it. The republican movement is now in the process of becoming passionately anti-war concerning Iraq and I hope that is now its position in the case of conflict in Ireland. I hope we are getting very close to that point.
