Ahern praises Garda handling of riot
Taoiseach Bertie Ahern today praised the garda handling of a riot which marred the EU enlargement celebrations in Dublin as it emerged two Britons, an American and a Swiss national were arrested.
The four were among 29 people charged with public order offences after troublemakers within a crowd of up to 2,000 anti-globalisation protesters clashed with gardaí near an entrance to Phoenix Park.
