Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

The Garda Síochána has emerged from this affair in a way that will do much good in the long term. This is not solely due to the restraint demonstrated by the force but also to the compassion it showed those caught up in the riots. The gardaí put the safety of these people before their own.

None of us should use this occasion for political or other purposes.
