Garda, business links explored

THE links between business life and policing were explored at a business breakfast in Waterford city yesterday, where Garda Commissioner Noel Conroy addressed delegates.

Organised by the Waterford Chamber of Commerce in association with the Irish Examiner and Ulster Bank, the meeting brought together leaders in business from Waterford city and county.

Speaking about the challenges of modern policing, Commissioner Conroy compared the running of a company to the management of the 12,000 strong garda force. He said both entities involved identifying priorities and following them up.
