Dublin is anticipating its largest policing operation in history next week, which is expected to cause significant traffic disruptions across the city. This extensive security measure coincides with upcoming EU events and planned industrial action.
Adding to the city's security arrangements, private security personnel will also be deployed to patrol the city centre. These developments come as the Health Service Executive (HSE) continues to face issues collecting millions of euros owed by pharmaceutical companies, a recurring financial concern.
In other news, a woman living near the border plans to travel to Dublin to give birth, seeking legal recognition for her wife as a parent, highlighting calls for changes to parentage laws. Separately, a Garda avoided prosecution for importing firearm parts, and an accountant was not jailed despite diverting company funds.
