Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan labelled the arson attack at an IPAS centre in Drogheda last weekend as "attempted murder". He castigated the perpetrators and said their actions would not mould Government policy in any way. Opposition figures claimed that some coalition ministers may be "leaning into" far-right rhetoric. O'Callaghan insisted that violent acts would not determine government decisions or policy direction. The episode highlights a clash between condemnation of extremist violence and political debate over rhetoric within the coalition.
