Three Garda cars were damaged during the incident in Co Wicklow.
Six people have been arrested following disturbances at the site in Co Wicklow earmarked for asylum seekers.A Garda spokesperson said officers “came under attack” in an incident which they said developed as a result of workers, contracted to carry out lawful employment on the site, entering the site.
“Assistance was provided by members of An Garda Síochána Public Order Unit and approximately 50 members of An Garda Síochána remain at the scene this evening. The use of force included the use of Incapacitant spray and deployment of Public Order Gardaí in Public Order helmets and shields.” Gardai said three patrol cars were damaged, and six people were arrested for alleged offences under the Criminal Justice Act, 1994.
“Any Garda activity in relation to evolving events involves a graduated policing response taking into account relevant legislation and public safety, with enforcement as a last resort. “An Garda Síochána is also aware of misinformation and disinformation being spread in relation to this ongoing incident.”
