Protester shouted ‘This is an insult’ at event commemorating death of British soldiers at 1916 Easter Rising
Canada’s ambassador to Ireland, and the man who was hailed as a hero for shooting Ottawa gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau after he stormed Parliament Hill in 2014, tackled a protester at a ceremony in Dublin this morning.
The former House of Commons sergeant-at-arms was at the event commemorating the British soldiers who died during the Easter Rising, also called the Easter Rebellion, when Irish republicans tried to overthrow British control of the country by force.
