"My thoughts are with the two members of An Garda Síochána who sustained injuries while responding to an incident in Blanchardstown this evening, and with their families.
"I have been in contact with the Garda Commissioner this evening, and I am relieved to hear that the situation was resolved following negotiation. I want to commend all of the Gardaí who were involved in ensuring there were no further injuries.
"Shocking incidents such as this remind us of the dangers the men and women of An Garda Síochána face every day. We can never take for granted their bravery and the dedicated service they provide to our communities.
"We must always remember that in wearing the uniform and serving the Irish people, they place our protection and their duty to the State above their own safety.
"An investigation into the incident is now underway and I urge any member of the public with any information or footage to contact Blanchardstown Garda Station."
