Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-28
============================================================

Barry Cowen (FF), Laois-Offaly

If I could continue, please. I thought I had a minute and a half. I had hoped for more time for all Members to contribute to this debate to denounce unreservedly the lawlessness that shamed our nation. All Members need to support the rule of law and insist that agreed protocols and procedures associated with our obligations and commitments to international agreements to assist those fleeing war and persecution are afforded a welcome synonymous with the céad mile fáilte that we have world wide. Our ability to meet, afford and answer those commitments should not be determined by hooligans and louts-----
