The Dublin riots: Heated debate during Oireachtas committee hearing with Helen McEntee | Newstalk

Senator Lynn Ruane questions Justice Minister Helen McEntee over whether we need a discussion on the catalyst for some people becoming involved in the Dublin riots. Helen McEntee is appearing before the Oireachtas Justice Committee this morning to answer questions on the State response to the riots. Garda cars, buses and a tram were set alight during the riots last months – with shops looted and vandalised. The violence came after protesters gathered near the scene of the Parnell Square attack became violent. Justice Minister Helen McEntee has been heavily criticised for her response to the riots – with the Government beating off a Sinn Féin vote of no confidence in her earlier this week. Meanwhile, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris was grilled over the Garda response to the violence in his own appearance before the committee last week. #dublin #riots #dublinriots #dublinatttacks ___________________________________________________________________________ 📱 Have you downloaded the Newstalk app? - Find the app in the Google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thisisaim.newstalk&hl=en_IE&gl=US - Find the app via Apple: https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/newstalk-106-108-fm/id372643826 #️⃣ SUBSCRIBE to the Newstalk social channels: - YOUTUBE | youtube.com/@Newstalkfm - TWITTER | twitter.com/newstalkfm - INSTAGRAM | instagram.com/newstalkfm/ - FACEBOOK | facebook.com/newstalkfm - WEBSITE | https://www.newstalk.com/ 🎧 PODCAST - listen at your leisure: newstalk.com/podcasts - iTunes: search for Newstalk in your app! - Spotify: search for Newstalk for our latest pods and news - Or wherever you get your podcasts! 📱GET IN TOUCH WITH NEWSTALK - WhatsApp: get in touch on 0871400106
