One week later on 3 October, more Gardaí were brought in from around the country, which increased their numbers to around 170. This marked a departure in Garda tactics which they have held to. An editorial in "The Irish Times" stated: ""The Garda baton charges that occurred on Friday morning in Bellanaboy were not the product of Sinn Féin or Provisional IRA machinations; they were the product of abject Government incompetence."" A decision to avoid arresting protesters in order to damp down the negative publicity that would ensue was discussed in the Garda magazine, "Garda Review". A number of people were injured and one young woman was brought to hospital.
