Why RTS described as a riot when it was a 'police riot'?

Questions that need to be asked...

Omerta operating in the Irish Police?

Did officers in charge on Dame Street refuse to co-operate with the investigation?

Did Gardai other than rank and File refuse co-operation?

Was anyone other than rank and file interviewed?

Was Garda Commissioner interviewed? After all he was in charge.

When will the Gardai release CCTV and Helicopter footage of the events?

Who decided on Gardai Tactics on the Day? Who gave the word to use batons to clear Dame Street?

Was CCTV footage from businesses on Dame street used or requisitioned by the investigation?

Could the Gardai who conspired on a widescale basis to protect those breaking the law be charged with aiding and abetting a criminal Offence? The guy said there were about 30 of them.

Did the inquiry deal with the Burlington incident where batons were used on people sitting on the ground? ground?

Should there be an Independent Public Enquiry? And I do mean Independent (No FF Pols/No PDs/No Gardai) Gardai)

Who polices the police.
