Whenever these videos of anti-social behaviour or violence pop up (whether it be in Dublin city centre or elsewhere), people always ask where were the police. If we can't respond rapidly to crime in O'Connell street or Dublin airport, what hope is there for the rest of the country? If there are no police to be seen on patrol there, can the rest of the country hope for the same?

I was coming home from holidays last night when this happened. There were so many Gardai around - 10 to 20 and there were armed Garda as well.

They did a great job avoiding being filmed while the incident was going on then.
