Flanagan: Protests must be within the law

The Minister for Foreign Affairs says he hopes there is not a repeat of Saturday's protest in West Dublin which saw the Tánaiste Joan Burton trapped in her car for over two hours.

Yesterday, a member of the Anti-Austerity Alliance, Deputy Paul Murphy, who was one of the organisers of Saturday's anti-water charges demonstration, defended it as being peaceful and said the Tánaiste was not in any danger.
