Almost 900 Gardaí awaiting compensation claims for injuries in the line of duty
The Department of Justice said that, as of the end of October, it had received the required information on 317 compensation claims and was awaiting details on a further 550 cases.
The confirmation comes just days after a garda was awarded €50,000 damages in the High Court in a compensation hearing after a gun was pointed at him after he confronted two robbers in 2010.
