Simon Coveney visited Ukraine on Thursday
The use of Gardaí as security for the Foreign Affairs Minister's trip to Ukraine, has to be regarded as a "blunder" according to a Kildare South TD.
Simon Coveney visited the war torn country yesterday, but was accompanied by the Garda’s Emergency Response Unit instead of the traditional Army Ranger Wing.
An internal security dispute arose as it was feared that the Garda unit would not have the correct technology to deal with such a trip.
Independent TD for Kildare South, Cathal Berry, served as deputy commander of the ARW.
He says the group would have more experience in dealing with a situation like the one in Ukraine:
