Garda response: From Dublin Riots to Citywest

from Behind the Story · host RTÉ News

There was “serious concern for public life” during violence seen in Citywest in Dublin last night, a journalist has told Behind the Story. It comes after violent disturbances outside an accommodation centre for International Protection applicants last night in Citywest in Dublin. Crime editor with The Irish Sun, Stephen Breen, said gardaí were prepared for the unrest. He also spoke about how organisers are using social media platforms “as a weapon”. Fran and David also discuss a Serious Crime Review Team which is to look at the investigation into the death of Liam Farrell. The Co Leitrim farmer was found dead in suspicious circumstances at his home over five years ago which has been previously covered by Prime Time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
