Garda suffered injury while coming to the aid of a person who entered the crowd
Ms Hilman and members of the JPC commended the gardaí on the ground, including the Public Order Unit, which she said succeeded in “protecting life and property”.
In total, gardaí in Dublin have arrested 43 people across 15 protests this year. Thirty two of these arrests were for public order offences, Ms Hilman said. Regarding the ongoing dispute over rosters between garda representatives and management, Ms Hilman said the reintroduction of the pre-pandemic roster will provide better policing responses at peak times, such as weekend nights.
However several councillors expressed serious concerns that the roster will significantly impact the provision of community policing services in their areas.
