Stone: I may be asking gardaí to break the law

THE Garda Representative Association (GRA) executive will meet tomorrow to decide on the exact timing and nature of the industrial action ballot it will put before its 12,000 members.

Yesterday, GRA general sectary PJ Stone accepted he may soon be asking members of the force to break the law.

The ballot decision “is a very significant development. It puts us in the position where we could be regarded as breaking the law”.
