‘Young, drunk people' to blame for Dublin violence, says Garda boss

The Garda Public Order Unit on South Anne St, Dublin, over the weekend. 

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has said an element of young, drunk people were responsible for causing violent disturbances in Dublin City over the bank holiday weekend.

He also singled out the selling of take-away alcohol from licensed premises which, he said, led to people drinking in public places, resulting in attacks on gardaí, criminal damage, and public disorder.
