Gardaí would 'run around like headless chickens' in terror scenario, AGSI conference told

Gardaí would panic and “run around like headless chickens” if there was a terrorist attack, a Garda conference was told yesterday.

The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors called on Commissioner Noirín O’Sullivan to conduct a risk assessment on the international terror threat and provide the necessary information and training to members.

The call stemmed from a motion debated, and unanimously passed, at AGSI’s annual conference yesterday.
