Gardaí want life in prison for gun crime

RANK-AND-FILE gardaí yesterday called for life sentences to be handed down to people caught carrying or using firearms.

The Garda Representative Association (GRA) said there could no longer be any “willy nilly” approaches to tackling a new breed of violent gunmen in society.

Secretary general PJ Stone was commenting in the wake of Sunday’s shooting of Donna Clearly at a house in Coolock, north Dublin.
