Garda bosses face inquiry over how they handled riots

THE Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has opened an inquiry into garda management’s handling of Saturday’s Dublin riot as the fallout from the violence continues to dominate the political agenda.

The HSA probe comes on foot of an official complaint from the Garda Representative Association (GRA) that management may not have carried out a risk assessment for the Love Ulster Parade.

Last night a HSA spokesman confirmed it had received a GRA complaint on the apparent lack of a safety statement "We are going to examine that complaint, ask garda authorities to show us the safety statement and examine it," he said.
