will later on today have other cobra meeting with law enforcement and senior police officers, ensuring that we reflect on our staff but also plan for the coming days. the most important lesson is that those involved in the disorder. what we have seen is that those being arrested now number in their hundreds, many have been charged, some are already in court, and many of them are getting individual sentences in terms of imprisonment. that is a very important message for those involved in disorder. i again: anybody involved in the disorder, whatever they claim as their native, will feel the full force of the law. it is important i repeat that it is important to ensure that in the coming days we give the necessary reassurance to our communities, many of whom i have been speaking to this morning and who are very anxious about the situation.— about the situation. minister of northern ireland, _ about the situation. minister of northern ireland, michelle - about the situation. minister of - northern ireland, michelle o'neill, northern ireland, michelle 0'neill, says that there is no place for
