I saw the footage last night and having been a Member of the Oireachtas since 1989, it is the first time I ever saw gardaí with Alsatian dogs inside the gates of Leinster House. There is no doubt that it was quite intimidating. It does not behove Members of the Oireachtas to mingle with people like that who are protesting outside the gates. If anything, it contributes to confrontation. In this morning's newspaper, I saw a photograph of a Member of the Oireachtas being carted away from the protest.
