The Garda Representative Association is to meet with Garda management on Tuesday to discuss the ongoing unrest in Coolock, in north Dublin.
The Malahide Road was temporarily closed as Dublin Fire Brigade battled the blaze. It's the fourth night in a row that a fire has broken out at the former factory site, which was at the centre of protests and violence last week.Frontline members of the force have described feeling"defenceless" after being left without riot gear, such as helmets, during the violent scenes in Coolock.
"And as a result of that, where that would reflect on policing other parts of the city, which would require the presence of already a thin, lack of resources". "And by the way, when I say the community, I mean the totality of it, not just those that are currently protesting. The whole community needs to be engaged".
