Statement from Tánaiste Simon Harris

I condemn the violent attacks on members of An Garda Síochána outside Citywest last night.

There is understandable shock and horror right across our country over the alleged incident that is now before the courts. The full facts must and will be established as people rightly expect.

But there is no excuse for this type of violence and thuggery against the men and women who serve to protect us and victims of crime every day.
