One call related to an assault and robbery, gardaí say, as TD accuses the force of acting as ‘private security for Bank of Ireland’
Gardaí were deployed in various locations to prevent people withdrawing money from ATMs and to disperse queues of people waiting to use them.
He said the events of Tuesday night “involved a complicated set of circumstances involving large sums of cash in circulation, in some instances large crowds and queues gathering and a developing and escalating situation. “Images on social media made the garda response look much more widespread that it actually was,” said one senior officer.
The seemingly rapid deployment of gardaí to some ATMs has drawn significant criticism on social media and from some politicians. “There is something unnerving about the Gardaí being involved in protecting BOI ATMs last night,” Labour justice spokesman Aodhán Ó Ríordáin said on Wednesday morning.
