There is a need to restore calm and order to Coolock
Sinn Fein Leader Mary Lou Mc Donald says the Government needs to move 'beyond condemnation' and take action - to restore calm and order to Coolock in Dublin.
Deputy McDonald has met residents and community groups in the area and says they've been very clear about the anger, fear and frustration that's been felt over being left in a vaccum.
She says it's right to condemn the scenes of violence from the past week - but the community needs respect and support to move forward.
The Taoiseach has spoken with the Minister for Integration and the Minister for Justice today, and been briefed by both, over the anti-immigration stand-off in Coolock.
In a statement this lunchtime he says he's also spoken with Sinn Fein Leader Mary Lou McDonald, and both agree the need for the violence to stop - and those responsible to be brought to justice.
He says they also discussed the important issue of engaging with people in their community, providing information, and trying to address issues.
