Gardaí say law inadequate and ‘favours criminal behaviour’

THE largest Garda staff association has said the laws are “out of balance” and “tipped in favour” of criminal behaviour.

The Garda Representative Association (GRA) made the claim after a jury earlier this month found a teenager not guilty of the manslaughter of Garda Robbie McCallion.

The young garda was killed when Jamie McGrenaghan struck him with his car while trying to escape from a garda road block in Letterkenny, Co Donegal, on March 26, 2009.
