Tánaiste gives official statement to Gardai about her ‘ordeal’ at Jobstown

‘Like hounds after a fox’, and ‘absolutely disgraceful’.

That’s how the Taoiseach referred to Joan Burton’s run-in with protesters in Jobstown last Saturday afternoon.

That day, the Tánaiste came face to face with the very people whom herself and the rest of the Coalition have for six consecutive years been piling relentless austerity on. That day, the results of such affront came back to haunt her, when her and her staff were trapped inside their official car for over two hours.

Today, she has made an official statement to Gardai from the safety of her own office at government buildings, away from the very people who elected her and the same people who will also ensure that both herself and the rest of the Cabinet never hold the staff of power inside Leinster House again.
