‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Garda treatment of Palestine protesters
Summary
Paul Murphy requests statements and questions for the Justice Minister about alleged Garda brutality, including pepper spray and batons used against peaceful protesters.
I have written to the Business Committee about, and raised with it, the need for statements and questions and answers with the Minister for justice on the scenes of Garda brutality we saw the Saturday before last, with the indiscriminate use of pepper spray and batons against peaceful protesters at the docks - people protesting in solidarity with Palestine.
We need to hear whether the Minister for justice agrees with this or if we are going to go down the road of Germany and other countries.
