Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has suggested that Garda Commissioner Drew Harris should meet with Gardaí to discuss concerns they do not have adequate protest training.
The Fine Gael leader also said that there is a "way of managing protests" and that the "public don’t understand" why Gardaí do not intervene in demonstrations.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland today, Antoinette Cunningham, General Secretary of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI), said that Gardaí felt "grossly undertrained" to deal with protests.
