Gardaí probe if leaders of 'nasty' right-wing protest engaged in criminality

Some garda sources are concerned that “sooner or later, things are going to blow up” from the protests.

Gardaí are investigating whether an “extremely nasty” right-wing protest in north Dublin crossed the line into criminality.

A number of gardaí who were ensuring safe entry and exit into an official meeting on the possible housing of Ukrainian refugees in Finglas on Thursday night were subjected to a torrent of verbal abuse by a group of around 50 adults, mainly masked and hooded men.
