Garda operation for protest on Wednesday night represents significant shift in policing tactics

Garda have been monitoring a number of groups involved in the recent protests, though they do not believe they are achieving scale or that they pose a significant security risk. However, some very vocal anti-immigration protesters based in Finglas appear to have gained a modest following in the area of late. That grouping is less organised but gardaí are concerned it represents a risk, with one source describing it as “rougher and a bit wilder” than the other groups.
On Wednesday morning, one of the prominent anti-immigrant campaigners from Finglas was arrested. He was still being questioned at Finglas Garda station last night as the protesters rallied outside. Many of those who addressed the crowd called for his release from custody, though the event passed off peacefully and with no arrests by late Wednesday night.
