Businessman warned over misuse of Garda logo

A BUSINESSMAN is expected to meet with gardaí today in a bid to resolve a serious dispute over the sale of replica Garda items.

John Brady of Irish Decal Products Ltd claims he received permission from the Garda Síochána to use its logo for souvenirs, which are being sold in shops primarily aimed at tourists.

The Garda Commissioner yesterday issued a statement saying the force had not given permission and that an investigation had been set up into “the apparent misuse of Garda copyright”.
