Plan to post gardaí at European holiday resorts

GARDAÍ could be seconded to some of Europe’s most popular holiday resorts to help Irish citizens in distress.

The idea was mooted by French interior minister Michele Alliot-Marie at a justice ministers’ meeting in the French resort of Cannes.

The move would help win back the support of EU citizens to the union, she said, as they saw it affecting their everyday lives in a beneficial way.
