The security arrangements for all events which take place in the State under Ireland's Presidency of the European Union are a matter for operational decision by the Garda authorities. They inform me that the security of those events is being kept under continuing review in the light of all circumstances, including the Garda assessment of security operations already undertaken. The Garda authorities assure me that all appropriate measures will be in place to meet the individual security needs of events planned for the remainder of the Presidency.
