00:00I want to condemn again the shocking Puggish writing last evening in Dublin and the attacks on Angorda Shekana.

00:07Angorda Shekana are there to protect our community and our people.

00:13They behave very professionally and very courageously and bravely.

00:18And it is quite shocking that people would attack our Gardaí in this manner.

00:23And there will be a very robust response from the criminal justice system.

00:28And this is something that will not be tolerated.

00:31And I know that the Minister for Justice, Jim O'Connor, is working with the Gardaí Commissioner in relation to all of this.

00:38And are also with those who have been injured.

00:42And we will continue to resist this type of behaviour.
