Coveney expects to talk to US ambassador on violence

Tanaiste Simon Coveney has said that the Irish Government wanted to see peaceful protests in the US and that leadership was needed at a political level

Tanaiste Simon Coveney expects to speak to the US ambassador here about the violence in US cities, as Irish people are “disturbed” by the violence there.

He said many Irish people were "shocked” and by the images coming of the US during protests against police brutality following the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed, handcuffed black man, last week.
