The English are coming — and gardaí are ready

GARDAÍ will maintain a strong visible presence in Dublin today as part of a large security operation for this evening’s historic Six Nations rugby match between Ireland and England at Croke Park.

The English are coming — and gardaí are ready

Members of the force’s Public Order Unit and officers attached to the Emergency Response Unit are being placed on stand-by in case of any violence.

The beefed-up security follows reports that some disaffected fans may attempt to stir up trouble over the singing of the British national anthem, God Save The Queen, and the flying of the Union Jack in Croke Park.
