Was the Garda response in Coolock fast enough?

Following unrest at an anti-immigration protest in Coolock yesterday, Gardaí have arrested 19 people. Taoiseach Simon Harris thanked the Gardai for their "very swift action” in “very difficult circumstances”. He also spoke about “the benefit of the body cams” worn by Gardaí. However, others have criticised the speed of the Garda Response. Were they fast enough? Andrea is joined by Independent Cllr John Lyons,Minister Neale Richmond, Minister of State with responsibility for Financial Services, Credit Unions & Insurance, Fianna Fáil Senator Timmy Dooley and Liam Herrick, Executive Director with the Irish Council for Civil Liberties to discuss.
