Helen McEntee has said that no suggestion is off the table when it comes to the recruitment and retention of gardaí. The Minister for Justice also condemned what she called a “vicious” unprovoked attack on a US tourist in Dublin.
Public expenditure minister Paschal Donohoe, who appeared at a press conference at Store Street Garda Station alongside McEntee, said he was saddened by the attack on the tourist. The assault comes weeks after a young Ukrainian actor needed stitches after being attacked near the Abbey Theatre, where he was performing in a Kyiv production of Brian Friel’s Translations.
“There is an anti-social behaviour problem in the inner city,” said Daithi de Roiste, the city’s mayor. “The guards themselves, they do what they can to the very best of their ability, with the resources that they have. But it’s clear we have an issue and it needs to be resourced properly and that comes from a departmental level.”
“They’re so hard-pressed, they’re bouncing from call to call to call, and we need the passive policing of having guards on the streets and that makes people feel safer. Also, thugs, antisocial-behaviour gangs, whatever which way you want to put it, that are dragging down the name of this great city, they get less freedom to operate with more guards on the streets and with more visibility policing.
