Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has denied that the Gardaí are taking a “softly softly approach” to far right protestors as he insisted the force will not “fall into their trap”.
He also denied that Gardaí are allowing protestors to board buses carrying asylum seekers and that if that is happening it is “not through a lack of action”.
Despite growing protests from far-right groups in recent months, Commissioner Harris said that the groups were not increasing in numbers.
