Gardaí 'very annoyed' at Cork councillor's McDonalds claims

In a statement, Lorna Bogue said she never suggested the garda was acting as a doorman for McDonalds. 'That appears to be a wilful misunderstanding because I have been very clear and consistent for years as a councillor that the leadership of An Garda Siochána sees the protection of private property as their primary responsibility above public safety,' she said.

Gardaí have dismissed online allegations from a Cork City councillor that gardaí were more interested in protecting a private business than the public good.

Ms Lorna Bogue, leader of An Rabharta Glas or the Green Left, posted a photograph on X, formerly Twitter, of a garda standing outside a McDonald’s outlet in Cork City on Saturday, during one of a series of nationwide rallies for Palestine.
