Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Security and access to complex has to be reassessed following far-right protests
met senior gardaí on Thursday amid a security review of the campus following the protests.
Mr Ó Fearghaíl warned that if things were left to “fester and continue” that “something awful will happen” and that it could “bring us to the kind of place as the US after their last presidential election”. He added that a group of members had discontinued their habit of taking a walk in the area around Leinster House because they felt unsafe. He said the Garda commissioner had a “full understanding” and demonstrated a willingness to address the problem.
Speaking to Damien Tiernan on Déise Today, Waterford Fianna Fáil TD Mary Butler, Minister of State for Mental Health and Older People, said: “Have I been targeted? I already have been targeted. Am I worried? Yes, I am.
