Letter to the Editor: Anti-racism protesters risk spreading the coronavirus
An anti-racism protest in Dublin.

I unequivocally condemn the murder of George Floyd because a police officer pressed a knee into his neck in Minneapolis resulting in his death by homicide witnessed by millions globally.

But I ask should we really be protesting in Dublin about police brutality and racism in the USA at the risk of widespread noncompliance with Covid-19 prevention regulations in Ireland? Why didn’t the gardaí intervene? Why did the gardaí fail to enforce Covid- 19 regulations on public gatherings? Who gave permission for this demonstration to take place?
