Conroy warns criminals: ‘Gardaí will fight back’

GARDA Commissioner Noel Conroy yesterday warned armed criminals gardaí would fight back if the public was put at risk.

Mr Conroy comments follow last week’s armed robbery in Lusk, north Dublin, in which two raiders were shot dead by elite gardaí.

He said that while he regretted the loss of life, criminals had to realise gardaí would respond, if necessary.
