This is what the media thinks an attack is,
Suspect in alleged Roderic O'Gorman attack shouted 'I have been waiting for you to come to my door'
The man is also alleged to have ripped a clipboard from Mr O'Gorman's hands – which Gardaí now believe may have been filmed on a camera phone
and O Gorman has an Armed Garda protecting him.
Sources say an armed Garda protection officer who was shadowing Mr O'Gorman intervened. The insider added: "It could have been much worse if the officer, who acted very quickly, was not there."
The officer moved in once he realised what was unfolding and prevented a potentially more serious incident. The alleged suspect shoved the TD twice before he was restrained.
All ministers had armed Garda protection reinstated just over two years ago – because of increased fears senior politicians could be targeted. They were taken away from most ministers in 2011 because of budget cuts.
It's a shame the same isn't provided to the citizens of this country who actually face very real threats to life and safety.
