Calls for Justice Minister's Resignation Amid Dublin Riots That Injured Over 60 Gardaí
- Justice Minister Helen McEntee insists she will not resign despite calls from Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald following riots in Dublin
- McDonald says she has "no confidence" in McEntee or Garda Commissioner Drew Harris, accusing them of "catastrophic operational failures"
- Over 60 gardaí injured, 13 shops damaged, over 30 arrests made amid the violence sparked by an incident earlier in the day
- Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tánaiste Leo Varadkar defend McEntee and Harris, saying there should be "no criticism" of the gardaí
- Body-worn cameras for gardaí to be fast-tracked, with the Recordings Devices Bill to be enacted "in the very near future"
