TWO MORE PEOPLE have been arrested today by gardaí investigating last November’s ‘Jobstown’ protest.
A man in his 30s arrested in the Brookview area early this morning was released this afternoon.
Gardaí have now confirmed the arrests of a second male — a juvenile — who was arrested later this morning.
He’s being held at Tallaght Garda Station for questioning under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.
20 people were arrested last week as part of the investigation into the protest at Joan Burton’s presence at an event at a college of further education in the south-west Dublin suburb.
TD Paul Murphy — who himself was arrested and questioned by gardaí last Monday for his part in the demonstration — yesterday called for a “significant response” if the arrests continued.
A large-scale protest is being planned for next weekend, should the operation continue.
