I also believe she should offer support for the brave Gardai who had to deal with a difficult situation and deal with a threat to people’s lives and their own. They put their lives on the line to protect us and keep us safe. They deserve our respect and appreciation.
Thoughts are with George Nkencho's family and friends. May he rest in peace.

The Deputy from Mount Anville never misses an opportunity to criticise the Gardai. I ve never heard him support the Gardai who have a difficult job to do.
