Labour demands video cameras in all garda stations

THERE was renewed controversy over the availability of video recording equipment in all garda stations yesterday.

It came in the wake of the not guilty verdicts handed down to two men in the Denis Franklin assault case.

Mr Franklin was left in a vegetative state after an assault in Cork two years ago. Two men charged in connection with the assault walked free on Monday after Cork Circuit Criminal Court Judge Patrick A Moran directed the jury to deliver not guilty verdicts.
