GRA chiefs face rebuke for attack on politicians

THE leadership of the Garda Representative Association (GRA) have been called in today by Commissioner Fachtna Murphy for what is likely to be a stern dressing down over political attack on the Government at their annual conference in Limerick earlier this week.

The seriousness with which the Government and Garda management view the GRA attack was clearly set out by Justice Minister Dermot Ahern and Commissioner Murphy when they spoke at a graduation ceremony in Templemore College yesterday.

Mr Ahern said the GRA owed the people of Ireland an apology over the disrespect they showed to the institutions of the state.
